Notes
Misaka peony (Paeonia 'Misaka (Beautiful Blossom)') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen use. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Its fragrant yellow blooms have pink shading and red flares, and they attract butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Donald Robert Smith bred it.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Japanese forest grass, and Casa Blanca lily.
