'Behold' peony (Paeonia 'Behold') 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. It grows about 26 inches tall and bears fragrant, double, rose-pink blooms that attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. William Henry Krekler bred it.
