Notes
'Villa Casale' peony (Paeonia 'Villa Casale') 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 semi-double pink flowers have light-cream outer petals and a slight citrus scent that draws bees and butterflies. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Blue grama, and Prairie Sun rudbeckia.
