Notes

'Koppius' peony (Paeonia 'Koppius') 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 and average moisture. The flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Keep it away from dogs and cats, since it is toxic to them.

Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Rainforest Sunrise hosta, Sedge, and Annabelle hydrangea.
