Notes

'Compressore' peony (Paeonia 'Compressore') 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 fragrant pink flowers are semi-double and face upward, with frilled guard petals. Plants reach about 35 inches tall and stand upright without support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
