Notes
'Raspberry Charm' peony (Paeonia 'Raspberry Charm') 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 and average moisture. It bears fragrant, raspberry, semi-double Japanese blooms that draw butterflies and bees, and the strong stems hold them well. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Keep it away from dogs and cats, since it is toxic to both.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Clustered bellflower, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Annabelle hydrangea.
