Notes
'Nosegay' peony (Paeonia 'Nosegay') 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. Small salmon-pink flowers are held like a bouquet above the tallish plant. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with PowWow White coneflower, Golden Tiara hosta, and Indian grass.
