Notes
'Gold Dust' peony (Paeonia 'Gold Dust') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and cut flowers. 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. Many small yellow flowers with creamy hearts open from early to late spring and attract butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Arthur Percy Saunders bred it.
Pairs well with Blue wild indigo, Garden phlox, Greig's tulip, and Lily.
