Notes

'Enchanted' peony (Paeonia 'Enchanted') 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. Its deep pink single flowers have a light yellow center and a mild, pleasant fragrance. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The flower color shifts from season to season with spring temperatures.

Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Black Hero tulip.
