Notes
'Fortuna Redux' peony (Paeonia 'Fortuna Redux') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, 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. Joshua Scholten bred it, and the double pink flowers are fragrant with lighter edges. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The upright stems stand without support, so you do not need stakes.
Pairs well with Big Daddy hosta, Pink Impression tulip, and Switchgrass.
