Notes
'Ann Berry Cousins' peony (Paeonia 'Ann Berry Cousins') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The soft salmon-pink flowers are bomb shaped and fragrant, and bees and butterflies visit them. Lyman Cousins bred it, and it grows up to 30 inches tall.
Pairs well with Big Daddy hosta, Annabelle hydrangea, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
