Notes
'Andreas Maschke' peony (Paeonia 'Andreas Maschke') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 fragrant cream flowers face upward, and the foliage emerges copper-colored. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Nodding onion.
