Notes

'Scrumdidleyumptious' peony (Paeonia 'Scrumdidleyumptious') 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Large double flowers are cream edged with light pink and have a mild, pleasant fragrance. Donald Robert Smith bred it.

Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, Eastern columbine, and Limelight hydrangea.
