Notes
'Class Act' peony (Paeonia 'Class Act') 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 and average moisture. The fragrant, soft cream flowers are double and high crowned, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Phantom panicle hydrangea, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Black Hero tulip.
