Notes
'Manitowoc Maiden' peony (Paeonia 'Manitowoc Maiden') 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 and average moisture. The large, double, medium pink blooms are fragrant, and the strong stems need no support. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Dark green foliage lasts well through summer.
Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, PowWow White coneflower, Picture tulip, and Sedge.
