Notes
'Aurora’s Blush' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Aurora’s Blush') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. It bears double, pale pink flowers with a small purple flare in late spring to early summer. Each stem carries one bud, and the loose, vigorous plant has medium green foliage.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Little Lime panicle hydrangea, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Ostrich fern.
