Notes

'Charismatic' peony (Paeonia 'Charismatic') 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 fragrant, semi-double blooms have rounded vivid pink petals and strong stems that hold up well in a vase. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, Clustered bellflower, and Little bluestem.
