Notes
'Servilia of the Junii' peony (Paeonia 'Servilia of the Junii') 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. Its fragrant, pink semi-double flowers fade to light pink and cream-white, and butterflies and bees visit them. Joshua Scholten bred it, and the upright stems need no support. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Indian grass, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Smooth hydrangea.
