Notes
'Mrs. Ben Gilbertson' peony (Paeonia 'Mrs. Ben Gilbertson') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Yellow flowers open in early to late spring and face out and away from the stem. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Ben Gilbertson bred it.
