Notes
'Coral Scout' peony (Paeonia 'Coral Scout') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Its fragrant, coral-pink flowers attract butterflies and bees. Late freezes can damage the flower buds, so plant it where spring warms up steadily. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Fire and Ice hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Black Parrot tulip.
