Notes

'Chlupacek' peony (Paeonia 'Chlupacek') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, 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. It bears fragrant, single pink flowers that attract bees and butterflies. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The name alludes to the hairy surface of the foliage.

Pairs well with Maltese cross, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Phantom panicle hydrangea.
