Notes

'Bowl of Beauty' peony (Paeonia 'Bowl of Beauty') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Hoogendoorn bred it, and the fragrant pink flowers reach about 12 inches across on strong stems. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Clustered bellflower, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
