Notes
'Radiant Fawn' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Radiant Fawn') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, 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. Pink semi-double flowers open in mid to late spring and again into early summer, and they are fragrant. The upright plants reach about 32 inches and do not need support. Swenson Gardens bred it.
Pairs well with Showy milkweed, Spotted dead nettle, Scentara Double Blue lilac, and Royal fern.
