Notes
'Rekhetre' peony (Paeonia 'Rekhetre') 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The light yellow blooms have lime green flares and open sideways on stems that need support. Harald Fawkner bred it.
Pairs well with Bobo hydrangea, June hosta, and Black Hero tulip.
