Notes
'Welcome Home' peony (Paeonia 'Welcome Home') 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-salmon semi-double flowers face upward and attract butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Paul and Esther Simmons bred it.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Picture tulip, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
