Notes
'Joy at Meeting' peony (Paeonia 'Joy at Meeting') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Late-season single purple flowers face upward and have a fragrance. The plant stands upright at about 24 inches tall, so it needs no support. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Dense blazing star, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Nodding onion.
