Notes

'The Fawn' peony (Paeonia 'The Fawn') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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 and average moisture. The fragrant flowers have rose pink dots on a blush background, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It is toxic to dogs and cats.
