Notes
'Etelca' peony (Paeonia 'Etelca') 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. Its fragrant blush flowers have frilled guard petals and bloom early. The stems spread past 31 inches and may need support. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Pale purple coneflower, and Switchgrass.
