Notes
'Laika Zīmes' peony (Paeonia 'Laika Zīmes') 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, creamy-yellow, semi-double flowers face upward and open at midseason, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The plant grows low and broad, so it needs no support.
Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Stargazer lily, and Sedge.
