Notes
'Tonka Burst' peony (Paeonia 'Tonka Burst') 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. Raspberry-pink single flowers are fragrant and face upward on upright stems that need no support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Roger F. Anderson bred it.
Pairs well with Woolly yarrow, Little Beauty tulip, and Sedge.
