Notes

'Nancy' peony (Paeonia 'Nancy') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. 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. Fragrant light pink blooms with peach shading attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Dr. Earl B.N. White bred it.

Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Guacamole hosta, and Blue grama.
