Notes
'Prefect' peony (Paeonia 'Prefect') 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. Early semi-double pink flowers open with lime green and cream-white shades, then fade to light pink. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The upright plant needs no support, and Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Little bluestem, and Maiden pink.
