Notes
'Joyful Hush' peony (Paeonia 'Joyful Hush') 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. Blush pink blooms fade to ivory at the edges, and the upright stems need no support. Roger F. Anderson bred it. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with June hosta, Blue grama, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Paprika yarrow.
