Notes

'Radiant Journey' peony (Paeonia 'Radiant Journey') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Fragrant, double, hot-pink flowers open in early midseason and measure about 7 inches across. Plants reach about 28 inches tall and stand upright, so they need no support.

Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Clustered bellflower, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
