'Majestic Illusion' peony (Paeonia 'Majestic Illusion') 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. The creamy yellow blooms are semi-double to double, with a blush-pink wash at the center and a strong fragrance.
