Notes
'Good Will' peony (Paeonia 'Good Will') 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 almost double, fragrant blooms are bright rosy pink and open late in its strain. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Prof. Arthur Percy Saunders bred it in 1941.
Pairs well with Sum and Substance hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Nodding onion, and PowWow White coneflower.
