Notes

'Temple of Jupiter' peony (Paeonia 'Temple of Jupiter') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Its fragrant, pink semi-double flowers have cream white highlights and open in midseason. The upright stems need no support.

Pairs well with Blazing star, Blue grama, Queen of Night tulip, and Ice plant.
