Notes

'Průhonice Friendship' peony (Paeonia 'Průhonice Friendship') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and cut flowers. 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 early single flowers are yellowish-green with a pink edge, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The plant stays compact at about 27 inches and stands upright without support.

Pairs well with Moonshine yarrow, Sedge, and Black Parrot tulip.
