Notes
'Nick Shaylor' peony (Paeonia 'Nick Shaylor') 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 and average moisture. Large blush pink blooms age to white and open late in the season on stiff stems. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Fire Island hosta, Dittany, and Black Hero tulip.
