Notes
'Domina' peony (Paeonia 'Domina') 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. The dark pink semi-double flowers have a citrus fragrance and ruffled petals, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Spotted beebalm.
