Notes
'Romulus and Remus' peony (Paeonia 'Romulus and Remus') 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. The fragrant double flowers are cream with a blush glow and open in spring. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. You can add support when the flowers are fully open.
Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Picture tulip, and Incrediball Storm Proof smooth hydrangea.
