'Eye Catching' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Eye Catching') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, 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, loose double flowers open pale pink with near white inner petals in early to mid spring.
