Notes

'Faith' peony (Paeonia 'Faith') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. Saunders bred it in 1929. The fragrant, double or semi-double flowers are light rose pink and measure 5 to 6 inches across. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Lamb’s ear, Blue-eyed grass, and Lily.
