Notes
'Heidi Ho' peony (Paeonia 'Heidi Ho') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and perennial beds. 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. Cream and pink blooms with red flares open in early to late spring and attract butterflies. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Derek Irvine bred it as a seedling of 'Seidl' #3.
Pairs well with Clematis, Snowbrush, and Goat’s beard.
