Notes

'Gold Strike' peony (Paeonia 'Gold Strike') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. 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 yellow, semi-double flowers have a lemon fragrance and attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The upright stems stand about 26 inches tall.

Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Limelight hydrangea, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Black Parrot tulip.
