Notes
'Cupid’s Kiss' peony (Paeonia 'Cupid’s Kiss') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen use. 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 semi-double flowers have frilled guard petals and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with June hosta, Maiden pink, and Switchgrass.
