Notes
'Dreamtime' peony (Paeonia 'Dreamtime') 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 and average moisture. The light pink, fragrant flowers open at midseason, and the stems are strong enough that it needs no support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. William J. Seidl bred it in 2010.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Bobo hydrangea.
