Notes
'Clash of the Titans' peony (Paeonia 'Clash of the Titans') 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 semi-double, salmon-pink flowers blend with cream yellow and have frilled, ruffled guard petals. Upright plants reach about 35 inches and need no support. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Stargazer lily, Indian grass, and Smooth hydrangea.
