Notes
'Arbutus Pink' peony (Paeonia 'Arbutus Pink') 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. The light pink single flowers open early and make neat, long-lasting table arrangements. Mrs. Mary E.G. Freeborn bred it. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Maiden pink, Nodding onion, and Blue grama.
