Notes
'Divine Right' peony (Paeonia 'Divine Right') 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 semi-double flowers are light pink with ruffled petals and a lime-like fragrance, and Joshua Scholten bred it. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Stained Glass hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Nodding onion.
