Notes
'Goldilocks' peony (Paeonia 'Goldilocks') 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 and average moisture. The fragrant, light yellow flowers have interlaced yellow and white petals and sit on strong stems. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Ben Gilbertson bred it.
Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Annabelle hydrangea, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Black Hero tulip.
