Notes
'Amphora' peony (Paeonia 'Amphora') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The double flowers blend lime-green and cream, and the guard petals are ruffled. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Give the spreading plants some support.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Dittany, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
