Notes
'Sophie’s Lullaby' peony (Paeonia 'Sophie’s Lullaby') 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. Roy G. Klehm bred it, and the single cream to soft yellow blooms have a slight fragrance. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The upright stems reach 26 inches and need no support.
Pairs well with Blue Angel hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Polish Spirit clematis.
