Notes

'Wonderous Awakening' peony (Paeonia 'Wonderous Awakening') 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. Each stem carries one single yellow bloom about 4½ inches wide. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Roger F. Anderson bred it.

Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Prairie dropseed, and Wide Brim hosta.
