Notes
'Blushing Swan' peony (Paeonia 'Blushing Swan') 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 white flowers are blushed with light pink, and the stems are strong. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Harry Heineman bred it.
Pairs well with Balloon flower, Culver’s root, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Carlton daffodil.
