Notes

'Diana Parks' peony (Paeonia 'Diana Parks') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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 fragrant, carmine red blooms look like full roses and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. William S. Bockstoce bred it.

Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Sensation lilac.
