Notes

'Tiny Tim' peony (Paeonia 'Tiny Tim') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, and rock 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. It grows 10 inches tall and has fragrant, light pink flowers that attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Ernest Flint Kelsey bred it, and Louis Smirnow introduced it in 1975.

Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Fringed bleeding heart, and Carlton daffodil.
