Notes
'G’Day Mate' peony (Paeonia 'G’Day Mate') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The fragrant flowers are semi-double to single and amber yellow with rose edges and red flares. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Dr. Bernard Chow bred it.
