Notes
'Radiant Shimmer' peony (Paeonia 'Radiant Shimmer') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Double, bright pink flowers open in early midseason and have a subtle fragrance. Plants reach about 30 inches tall, and support helps in adverse conditions.
Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, Eastern columbine, Limelight hydrangea, and Sedge.
