Notes
'Tonka Pink' peony (Paeonia 'Tonka Pink') 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. The fragrant, light pink flowers have coral-red flares and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows upright to 30 inches tall.
