Notes

'Spellbinder' peony (Paeonia 'Spellbinder') 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 and average moisture. The large, fragrant flowers have white guards, light green carpels, and white stigmas. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The strong stems stay medium in height.

Pairs well with Rainforest Sunrise hosta, Limelight hydrangea, and Black Hero tulip.
