Notes

'William Sheraden' peony (Paeonia 'William Sheraden') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It bears fragrant, double, light pink flowers that measure 6 to 7 inches across. The stems are good and strong, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Eastern columbine, Liberty hosta, Prairie dropseed, and Nodding onion.
