Notes
'Quality Folk' peony (Paeonia 'Quality Folk') 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 and average moisture. Big single flowers measure 11 inches across and have a deep wine pink color. They smell sweet and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with First Frost hosta, Moonshine yarrow, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
