Notes

'Rebecca Hunter' peony (Paeonia 'Rebecca Hunter') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Julian L. Janus bred it, and its large white and yellow flowers are fragrant. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Creeping phlox, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Nodding onion, and Christmas fern.
