Notes
'Dixon's Dream' peony (Paeonia 'Dixon's Dream') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun. Fragrant salmon-pink flowers with lighter edges open in late spring and early summer. It sits low on the menu for deer. Peter Waltz bred it, and it is toxic to dogs and cats.
Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Charles Joly lilac, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
