Notes
'Baths of Boreas' peony (Paeonia 'Baths of Boreas') 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 fragrant pink flowers are semi-double with frilled guard petals, and the plants stand upright without support. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Peony Shop Holland introduced it in 2022.
Pairs well with Fire and Ice hosta, Prairie dropseed, Queen of Night tulip, and Blanket flower.
