Notes
'Perfection' peony (Paeonia 'Perfection') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen use. 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, light pink blooms have a lighter center and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. John Richardson bred it in 2001.
Pairs well with First Frost hosta, Nodding onion, and Western sword fern.
