Notes
'Perfect Day' peony (Paeonia 'Perfect Day') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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. Double flowers open dusky pink with patches of yellow-cream, then fade to yellow-cream as they age. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The strong stems stand upright without support.
Pairs well with PowWow White coneflower, Krossa Regal hosta, and Blue grama.
