'Gerardus Mooijekind' peony (Paeonia 'Gerardus Mooijekind') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. It bears yellow single flowers up to 6½ inches across, with one flower per stem and a light fragrance.
