Notes
'Edna’s Wish' peony (Paeonia 'Edna’s Wish') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 fragrant double blooms are creamy yellow with a pale pink flush, and strong stems hold them up without support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Tim Stanek bred it.
Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Clustered bellflower, and Black Hero tulip.
