Notes

'Orange Cup' peony (Paeonia 'Orange Cup') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The fragrant blooms attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Keep it away from dogs and cats, since it is toxic to them.

Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Stella de Oro daylily, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Picture tulip.
