Notes
'Appleton Eau' peony (Paeonia 'Appleton Eau') 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. Its large blush flowers are fully double and fragrant, and the stems may need some support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Harald Fawkner bred this peony.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, Indian grass, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
