Notes
'Ummanz' peony (Paeonia 'Ummanz') 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. Its large, fragrant, light yellow flowers draw bees and butterflies. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Harald Fawkner bred it.
Pairs well with Praying Hands hosta, Nodding onion, and Blue grama.
