Notes
'Guy Fawkes' peony (Paeonia 'Guy Fawkes') 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. Flowers open in early to late spring in pink overtones on cream, with dark flares. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Catmint, Blue fescue, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Damask rose.
