Notes
'Magical Mystery Tour' peony (Paeonia 'Magical Mystery Tour') 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. Large cream flowers flushed with pink fade to creamy white, and they have a mild, pleasant fragrance. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Fire Island hosta, and Miss Kim lilac.
