Notes
'Radiant Truth' peony (Paeonia 'Radiant Truth') 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 pink double flowers face upward and measure about 6 inches across. The plant reaches about 28 inches tall, and the slightly spreading stems may need support in adverse conditions.
Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Eastern columbine, and Prairie dropseed.
