Notes
'Predawn Beauty' peony (Paeonia 'Predawn Beauty') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Deep pink single flowers have a sweet fragrance and attract butterflies and bees. Roger F. Anderson bred it.
Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Maiden pink, Switchgrass, and Stargazer lily.
