Notes
'Soft Apricot Kisses' peony (Paeonia 'Soft Apricot Kisses') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. 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. Roy G. Klehm bred it, and the fragrant, cup-shaped blooms open soft apricot with lavender flares. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with White Swan coneflower, Prairie dropseed, and Nodding onion.
