Notes

'Karamba' peony (Paeonia 'Karamba') 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Its single, light orange-red blooms are fragrant and attract bees and butterflies.

Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Polish Spirit clematis.
