Notes
'Lucius Vorenus' peony (Paeonia 'Lucius Vorenus') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator 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. Its yellow, semi-double flowers have ruffled, frilled guard petals. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The upright plants reach 30 inches and need no support.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Little Beauty tulip, and Minuteman hosta.
