Notes
'Facta Non Verba' peony (Paeonia 'Facta Non Verba') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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 fragrant, double, powder pink flowers have a darker pink glow in the center and frilled guard petals. The upright stems need no support, and Joshua Scholten bred it. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Eastern columbine, Fire Island hosta, and Black Parrot tulip.
