Notes
'Gemini' peony (Paeonia 'Gemini') 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. Double blooms open in early to late spring in rose-pink and coral-red blends with cream. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The large flowers nod, but they do not pull down the stems.
Pairs well with Paris coral bells, Primrose, and Bottlebrush buckeye.
