Notes
'Temple of Minerva' peony (Paeonia 'Temple of Minerva') 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. Double pink flowers fade to light pink and cream-white, with ruffled outer petals and a slight fragrance. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The upright stems need no support.
Pairs well with Blazing star, Switchgrass, Queen of Night tulip, and Love-in-a-mist.
