Notes
'Deborah Vermuyden' peony (Paeonia 'Deborah Vermuyden') 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. Cerise Japanese flowers have gold-edged guard petals and face upward, and bees and butterflies visit them. Plants reach about 33 inches and spread, so give them support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Christmas fern, and African Queen lily.
