Notes
'Sonoma Lavender Fancy' peony (Paeonia 'Sonoma Lavender Fancy') 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. Irene Tolomeo bred it, and the fragrant lavender flowers have darker flares and attractively laced petals. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Dense blazing star, Blue Angel hosta, and Switchgrass.
