Notes
'Autumn Harvest' peony (Paeonia 'Autumn Harvest') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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. Straw-yellow double flowers open in early to late spring on strong, upright stems, and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. William J. Seidl bred it.
Pairs well with Balloon flower, Sweet William, Ostrich fern, and Grape hyacinth.
