Notes
'Border Charm' peony (Paeonia 'Border Charm') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The yellow blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Don Hollingsworth introduced it in 1984.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Blue fescue, and Little Lime panicle hydrangea.
