Notes
'Wonderous Canvas' peony (Paeonia 'Wonderous Canvas') 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. Fragrant, single pink blooms with cream stripes reach 5 inches wide and attract butterflies and bees. Swenson Gardens bred it. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Wide Brim hosta, Stargazer lily, and Indian grass.
