Notes
'Licinius' peony (Paeonia 'Licinius') 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. The fragrant pink flowers are semi-double with frilled petals, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Plants stand upright and need no support.
Pairs well with Dense blazing star, Curly Fries hosta, Switchgrass, and Nodding onion.
