Notes
'Maximinus Daia' peony (Paeonia 'Maximinus Daia') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Its fragrant pink flowers are semi-double to double, face upward, and need no support on the upright stems.
Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, Patriot hosta, and Blue grama.
