Notes
'Constantius Chlorus' peony (Paeonia 'Constantius Chlorus') 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. Early blooming pink flowers are semi-double and fragrant, and the upright stems stand without support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Pink Impression tulip, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
