Notes
'Roselegance' peony (Paeonia 'Roselegance') 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. The fragrant, rose-pink double flowers have wide guard petals around a mound of smaller petals, and strong stems hold them erect. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, Blue grama, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
