Notes

'Wonderous Works' peony (Paeonia 'Wonderous Works') 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 yellow blooms are semi-double and measure about 5 inches across. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Roger F. Anderson bred this upright peony, which grows 24 inches tall and needs no support.

Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Switchgrass, and Stargazer lily.
