Notes
'Coral Fay' peony (Paeonia 'Coral Fay') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Its fragrant, semi-double, salmon-pink flowers open early and attract butterflies and bees. Strong stems reach 30 inches tall, and Orville W. Fay bred it in 1973. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Annabelle hydrangea, Moonshine yarrow, and Hosta.
