Notes

'Heavenly Ballet' peony (Paeonia 'Heavenly Ballet') 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 pink single flowers are cupped and somewhat ruffled, and they draw butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Roger F. Anderson bred it.

Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Nodding onion, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Invincibelle Ruby smooth hydrangea.
