Notes
'Sorbet' peony (Paeonia 'Sorbet') 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 and average moisture. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant flowers have cream petals sandwiched between pink top and bottom petals. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Empress Wu hosta, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
