Notes
'Pastelegance' peony (Paeonia 'Pastelegance') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. The fragrant, creamy pink double flowers attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. William J. Seidl introduced it in 1989.
Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Big Daddy hosta, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
