Notes
'Eternal Spring' peony (Paeonia 'Eternal Spring') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Cerise flowers with darker flares open in early to late spring. The fern-like foliage forms a large mound and stays attractive all summer.
Pairs well with David garden phlox, Star Gazer lily, Greig's tulip, and Blue Arrow Rocky mountain juniper.
