Notes
'Golden Fleece' peony (Paeonia 'Golden Fleece') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Fragrant light pink flowers with light yellow centers age to white and attract butterflies. Southern Charm Paeonies introduced it in 2001.
Pairs well with Blue star, Endless Summer hydrangea, and Jackmanii clematis.
