Notes
'House of Livia' peony (Paeonia 'House of Livia') 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. Semi-double pink flowers fade to light pink and cream-white, and Joshua Scholten bred it. The upright plants reach 20 inches and need no support. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Switchgrass, and Queen of Night tulip.
