Notes
'Whirlwind Romance' peony (Paeonia 'Whirlwind Romance') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. 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, rose-pink, semi-double flowers have petals set in a spiral pattern. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Plants stay upright, so they need no support. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Clustered bellflower, and Western sword fern.
