Notes
'Divine Blush' peony (Paeonia 'Divine Blush') 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. Early blooming semi-double flowers are blush-cream, face upward, and have a subtle fragrance. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Plants reach 32 inches tall and stand upright, so they need no support.
Pairs well with Guacamole hosta, Little bluestem, Queen of Night tulip, and New Jersey tea.
