Notes
'Top Brass' peony (Paeonia 'Top Brass') 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 and average moisture. The fragrant white blooms are double bombs with a yellow topping, and they attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Keep it away from pets, since it is toxic to dogs and cats.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Quick Fire panicle hydrangea, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Black Hero tulip.
