Notes
'Polished Brass' peony (Paeonia 'Polished Brass') 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. Light yellow double blooms open early and have a light fragrance, and Gale D. Whitsett introduced it in 2002. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Stems bow under the weight of the seeds, so you may want to support them.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Spiked speedwell, and Blue grama.
