Notes
'Double Delight' peony (Paeonia 'Double Delight') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The deep pink double blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. David Reath bred it.
Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, Prairie dropseed, and Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta.
