Notes
'Villa Romana Minori' peony (Paeonia 'Villa Romana Minori') 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. The fragrant, double pink flowers have ruffled guard petals and lighter edges, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The spreading stems benefit from support.
Pairs well with Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, Little bluestem, and Limelight hydrangea.
