Notes
'Julian II Apostate' peony (Paeonia 'Julian II Apostate') 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. Pink double flowers have cream edges and frilled guard petals, and the heavy blooms do best with support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Sedge, and Black Hero tulip.
