Notes
'Berry Garcia' peony (Paeonia 'Berry Garcia') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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. Pink and cream flowers have dark red flares, a mild fragrance, and appeal to bees and butterflies. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Donald Robert Smith bred it.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Clustered bellflower, Polish Spirit clematis, and Western sword fern.
