Notes
'She Loves Me' peony (Paeonia 'She Loves Me') 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The fragrant, white, semi-double flowers measure about 7 inches wide and sit on wiry stems. Professor Harald Fawkner bred it.
Pairs well with Fire Island hosta, Incrediball hydrangea, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
