Notes
'Coral Nebula' peony (Paeonia 'Coral Nebula') 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. Large semi-double flowers open cream with coral-pink shading and dark maroon flares, and they are fragrant. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Nate Bremer bred it, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Clustered bellflower, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
