Notes
'Dawn Pink' peony (Paeonia 'Dawn Pink') 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. The single pink flowers are fragrant and have bright yellow stamens. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Hans Peter Sass bred it.
Pairs well with Annabelle hydrangea, Hosta, Moonshine yarrow, and Black Hero tulip.
