Notes
'Cutie' peony (Paeonia 'Cutie') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. The small white double blooms are fragrant and have cream to yellow centers. Each stem carries one large bud and several side buds, so you get plenty of flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Fire Island hosta, Annabelle hydrangea, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
