Notes

'Sonoma Apricot' peony (Paeonia 'Sonoma Apricot') 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. The fragrant flowers open apricot with red flares and age to light yellow. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Irene Tolomeo bred it.
