Notes
'Celestia Door' peony (Paeonia 'Celestia Door') 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 light pink and cream flowers have green flares, and the 35 inch stems benefit from support in bloom. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Prof. Harald Fawkner bred it.
Pairs well with Wide Brim hosta, Pale purple coneflower, and Blue grama.
