Notes
'New Millennium' peony (Paeonia 'New Millennium') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Coral pink semidouble to double flowers have some fragrance and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Roger F. Anderson bred it.
Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Prairie dropseed, Limelight hydrangea, and Black Parrot tulip.
