Notes

'Wonderous Circle' peony (Paeonia 'Wonderous Circle') 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 yellow semi-double blooms open at midseason and have golden yellow stamens and a subtle fragrance. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It stands upright at 18 to 20 inches and needs no support.

Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Curly Fries hosta, and Blue grama.
