Notes

'Majestic Center' peony (Paeonia 'Majestic Center') 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. Upright stems grow to 30 inches tall and carry fragrant double white blooms with magenta flares at the center. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Swenson Gardens bred it.

Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Fringed bleeding heart, and Blue grama.
