Notes
'Florist’s Delight' peony (Paeonia 'Florist’s Delight') 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Tall stems carry full, double, dark pink blooms with silvery edges on the petals. The flowers are fragrant, and the stems are good for cutting.
Pairs well with August Moon hosta, Clustered bellflower, Little bluestem, and Carlton daffodil.
