Notes

'Roma Aeterna' peony (Paeonia 'Roma Aeterna') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Its pink, semi-double flowers have frilled, ruffled petals and face upward. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The upright plants reach about 28 inches and need no support.

Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Black Parrot tulip, and Indian Summer rudbeckia.
