Notes

'Joyful Bliss' peony (Paeonia 'Joyful Bliss') 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 fragrant, double, soft yellow blooms are 5 inches wide, and the upright plants need no support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Sum and Substance hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Charles Joly lilac.
