Notes
'MaryKate' peony (Paeonia 'MaryKate') 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 fragrant, light pink blooms have salmon undertones and a cupped form. Upright stems reach 24 inches and need no support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
