Notes
'Sweet Peach' peony (Paeonia 'Sweet Peach') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. The double flowers are pale orange with a darker center and fade to pale yellow over time. They are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Stems reach 39 to 47 inches, so give the plants support. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Wide Brim hosta, Nodding onion, and Blue grama.
