Notes

'Rozella' peony (Paeonia 'Rozella') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. The double, dark pink blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Bloom time runs from early to late spring.

Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Stargazer lily.
