Notes
'Radiant Honor' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Radiant Honor') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Fragrant, pale pink double flowers open in mid to late spring and early summer. The plants lean a bit, so give them support in rough weather. Swenson Gardens bred it in 2025.
Pairs well with Spotted dead nettle, Cinnamon fern, and Tall fescue.
