Notes
'Odd Fellow' peony (Paeonia 'Odd Fellow') 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It bears single, deep bright pink cups with a sweet fragrance, and bees and butterflies visit them. William Henry Krekler bred this unusual hybrid.
Pairs well with Yarrow, Guacamole hosta, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
