Notes
'Bravura' peony (Paeonia 'Bravura') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 single flowers have fringed petals and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Arthur Percy Saunders bred it.
Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Lilac, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Pink Impression tulip.
