Notes

'Radiant Delicacy' peony (Paeonia 'Radiant Delicacy') 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. The early midseason blooms are semi-double, blush to pale pink, and about 6 inches wide on upright stems that need no support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Blue Angel hosta, Dense blazing star, Little bluestem, and Carlton daffodil.
