Notes

'Vanilla Schnapps' peony (Paeonia 'Vanilla Schnapps') 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. The light yellow flowers are fragrant, round, and double on established plants, and each stem carries extra buds for a long bloom season. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, Switchgrass, Stargazer lily, and Phantom panicle hydrangea.
