Notes
'Promenade' peony (Paeonia 'Promenade') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Its semi-double blush pink flowers have a pink overlay and open flat on strong 24 inch stems. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms, and Chris Laning bred it.
Pairs well with Hosta, Charles Joly lilac, Yarrow, and Western sword fern.
