Notes
'Vera Tischler' peony (Paeonia 'Vera Tischler') 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 pink flowers are fragrant, have a Japanese form, and attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Cut a few stems to bring the scent indoors.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Nodding onion, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
