Notes
'Show Girl' peony (Paeonia 'Show Girl') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. Pink fragrant blooms with light yellow centers draw butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Don Hollingsworth bred it in 1984.
Pairs well with Columbine, Guacamole hosta, and Carlton daffodil.
