Notes
'Ermenegilda Mantegna' peony (Paeonia 'Ermenegilda Mantegna') 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 palest pink flowers fade to white and have seven narrow petals around gold stamens. They are mildly fragrant and hold up in heavy rain. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, Curly Fries hosta, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
