Notes
'Fairy Princess' peony (Paeonia 'Fairy Princess') is a perennial for borders, 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The small, dark red single blooms are fragrant and attract bees and butterflies. Plants stay short and dwarf, and Elizabeth Glasscock Falk bred it.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, White Feather hosta, and Black Hero tulip.
