Notes
'Forrest Nymph' peony (Paeonia 'Forrest Nymph') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 ruffled pink flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with Fire and Ice hosta, Blanket flower, and Incrediball hydrangea.
