Notes

'Sonoma Welcome' peony (Paeonia 'Sonoma Welcome') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, 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. It bears fragrant, light-yellow single flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Its short stature suits small spaces.

Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Spiked speedwell, and Prairie dropseed.
