Notes
'Villa of Livia' peony (Paeonia 'Villa of Livia') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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 fragrant, semi-double flowers blend pink and pale yellow, and the upright plants need no support. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Joshua Scholten bred it.
Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Stained Glass hosta, and Switchgrass.
