Notes
'Ann Cousins' peony (Paeonia 'Ann 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 and average moisture. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The full double white blooms smell of roses and open in late mid season. The open flowers need some support, so you can stake them.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Charles Joly lilac, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
