Notes
'Kopper Kettle' peony (Paeonia 'Kopper Kettle') 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. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The fragrant, semi-double to double blooms look copper from a distance and attract butterflies and bees. Roger F. Anderson bred it in 1999.
Pairs well with Rainforest Sunrise hosta, Spiked speedwell, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
