Notes
'Wonderous Cup' peony (Paeonia 'Wonderous Cup') 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 upright stem holds one fragrant, cream bloom shaped like a deep goblet. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The leaflet edges turn wavy and ruffled as the plant matures, and it needs no support.
Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Switchgrass, and Pink Impression tulip.
