Notes
'CoDo' peony (Paeonia 'CoDo') 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. Mid-season double flowers are white with a pink overlay and deep pink flares. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The plant grows up to 30 inches tall and needs no support.
Pairs well with Creeping phlox, Christmas fern, and Nodding onion.
