Notes
'Furrina' peony (Paeonia 'Furrina') 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. Its early ruffled, semi-double flowers open pink and fade to light pink and cream, and the upright stems need no support. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with Hosta, Spiked speedwell, and Blue grama.
