Notes
'Old Rose Dandy' peony (Paeonia 'Old Rose Dandy') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Fragrant rose-pink blooms have red flares, age to lighter shades, and attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Chris Laning bred it.
Pairs well with Emerald Pink moss phlox, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
