Notes
'Tonka Extravaganza' peony (Paeonia 'Tonka Extravaganza') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage 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. Single, fragrant lavender purple blooms with red flares attract bees and butterflies. The upright stems need no support. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Lanceleaf coreopsis, Prairie dropseed, and Nodding onion.
