Notes
'Majestic Blush' peony (Paeonia 'Majestic Blush') 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. The fragrant, semi-double blooms are pale creamy blush with ruffled petals that fade toward the edges. Each upright stem carries one bloom about 6 inches wide, and plants reach 28 to 30 inches tall. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Empress Wu hosta, and Prairie dropseed.
