Notes
'Heartbreaker' peony (Paeonia 'Heartbreaker') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, rock gardens, and cottage gardens. 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. Reddish-pink single flowers open in early spring and sit above mounded, deep blue-green leaves. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Nate Bremer bred it.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Little Beauty tulip, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Nodding onion.
