Notes
'Momo Taro' peony (Paeonia 'Momo Taro') 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 usually look elsewhere for a meal. The fragrant cream to peach flowers have dark red flares and attract bees and butterflies. William J. Seidl bred it.
Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Moonshine yarrow, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
