Notes
'Howard Taylor' peony (Paeonia 'Howard Taylor') 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant blooms attract butterflies and bees, and William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Sum and Substance hosta, Dense blazing star, and Little bluestem.
