Notes
'Triphena Parkin' peony (Paeonia 'Triphena Parkin') 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The fragrant double blooms are warm light pink over creamy yellow, which gives a golden glow. Plants reach about 41 inches tall, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Queen of Night tulip, and Polish Spirit clematis.
