Notes
'Francis H. Cabot' peony (Paeonia 'Francis H. Cabot') 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The single, soft pink flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. François-Léo Tremblay bred it.
Pairs well with Fire and Ice hosta, Incrediball hydrangea, Sedge, and Black Parrot tulip.
