Notes
'Perseus and Andromeda' peony (Paeonia 'Perseus and Andromeda') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. 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 pink, semi-double flowers have a citrus-like fragrance, and the upright stems need no support. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Nodding onion, and Blue grama.
