Notes
'Suzanna Hotz' peony (Paeonia 'Suzanna Hotz') 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 sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The fragrant, mid pink blooms attract butterflies and bees, and most stems carry sidebuds that extend the flowering season.
Pairs well with Culver’s root, Dense blazing star, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Western sword fern.
