Notes

'Moonwalk' peony (Paeonia 'Moonwalk') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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 cream-colored semi-double blooms face up, have a faint to medium scent, and attract bees and butterflies. Growth is upright to 29 inches, and it needs no support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Moonshine yarrow, Little bluestem, and Nodding onion.
