Notes
'Tiberius' peony (Paeonia 'Tiberius') 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. Joshua Scholten bred it, and the fragrant double flowers open salmon pink over pastel yellow with lavender in the center. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Little bluestem, and Stargazer lily.
