Notes
'Anemoniflora Rosea' common peony (Paeonia officinalis 'Anemoniflora Rosea') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun. The fragrant purple-pink blooms open in late spring and early summer on plants about 14 inches tall. Deer tend to pass it by. Keep it away from dogs and cats, since it is toxic to them.
Pairs well with Blue star, Pink, and Purple top.
