Notes

'Spotlight' peony (Paeonia 'Spotlight') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The double flowers are fragrant. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Green Spice coral bells, Blue-eyed grass, and Lily.
