Notes
'Juhannus Fire' peony (Paeonia 'Juhannus Fire') 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. Fragrant light pink and white single flowers open early and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The upright plants need no support.
Pairs well with First Frost hosta, Knapweed, and Stargazer lily.
