Notes
'Kathy’s Touch' peony (Paeonia 'Kathy’s Touch') 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. Each stem carries one fragrant, light pink bloom about 6 inches wide, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Sturdy stems stand up to wind and rain without support.
Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Carlton daffodil, and Limelight hydrangea.
