Notes
'Kim' peony (Paeonia 'Kim') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Its fragrant pink double flowers reach 8 inches or more across, and sturdy stems hold them up without support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Nate Bremer bred it.
Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Switchgrass, and Sweet pepperbush.
