Notes

'Sonoma Kaleidoscope' peony (Paeonia 'Sonoma Kaleidoscope') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 single flowers open yellow-orange with a wine tint and change shades over a long bloom period. Long stems make good cut flowers. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Irene Tolomeo bred it.

Pairs well with Annabelle hydrangea, Christmas fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
