Notes
'Aquarius' peony (Paeonia 'Aquarius') is a perennial for cut flowers, borders, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The large peach and pink flowers have a strong citrus scent, so they float well in a bowl indoors. Nate Bremer bred it, and stems may be lost in cold winters but regrow from ground shoots.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Paris coral bells, Niobe clematis, and Lily.
