Notes
'Sky Dance' peony (Paeonia 'Sky Dance') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Strong stems reach for the sky and need no support, which gives it the name. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The fragrant, light pink double flowers measure 6 inches and attract bees and butterflies.
Pairs well with August Moon hosta, Moonshine yarrow, and Switchgrass.
