Notes
'Diana the Huntress' peony (Paeonia 'Diana the Huntress') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. The fragrant, light pink, semi-double flowers have frilled, ruffled outer petals, and the upright stems need no support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with First Frost hosta, Stargazer lily, and Blue grama.
