Notes

'Honeybun' peony (Paeonia 'Honeybun') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The double pink flowers are fragrant and face upward. The finely cut leaves stay green well into fall, and the compact clump needs no support.

Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Limelight hydrangea.
