Notes
'Floral Fantasy' peony (Paeonia 'Floral Fantasy') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 flowers open cream with lavender pink shading and show large cherry red flares. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The dark green leaves last well into autumn.
Pairs well with White Swan coneflower, Big Daddy hosta, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
