Notes
'Wonderous Top' peony (Paeonia 'Wonderous Top') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 fragrant, semi-double deep pink blooms reach 4 to 4½ inches wide, attract butterflies and bees, and the upright stems stand without support. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Roger F. Anderson bred it.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Blue grama, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
