Notes
'Peach Festival' peony (Paeonia 'Peach Festival') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Fragrant cream and peach flowers open in early to late spring, and a second flush follows a couple weeks later. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Long stems often freeze back in winter, but strong ground growth replaces them.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Lily, and Niobe clematis.
