Notes
'Wonderous Sun' peony (Paeonia 'Wonderous Sun') 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. Its pale yellow, semi-double blooms are fragrant and reach about 5 inches wide on upright stems that need no support. Roger F. Anderson bred it. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Paprika yarrow, Blue grama, and Queen of Night tulip.
