Notes
'Lollipop' peony (Paeonia 'Lollipop') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Yellow blooms carry red candy stripes, so they look like an all-day sucker. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Rainforest Sunrise hosta, Black Hero tulip, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
