Notes
'Pale Moon Rising' peony (Paeonia 'Pale Moon Rising') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Each upright stem carries one single, light yellow bloom in early spring and needs no support.
Pairs well with Eastern columbine, Dancing Queen hosta, Polish Spirit clematis, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
