Notes
'Honored Guest' peony (Paeonia 'Honored Guest') 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. The single cupped flowers are fragrant and light pink with pale flares, and they age to cream.
