Notes
'Bride’s Blush' peony (Paeonia 'Bride’s Blush') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The flat blooms are cream flushed with rose and show off their stamens in spring. Each stem carries three buds, and the strong stems hold them well.
Pairs well with First Frost hosta, Burnet, Mock orange, and Jackmanii clematis.
