Notes
'Radiant Moonbeam' peony (Paeonia 'Radiant Moonbeam') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. Light yellow blooms with prominent black purple flares open in early to late spring. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Butterflies visit the flowers, and Derek Irvine bred it.
Pairs well with Cat mint, Blue fescue, and Lily.
