Notes

'Xenia Town' peony (Paeonia 'Xenia Town') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. This bushy plant grows about 22 inches tall and bears fragrant red blooms that attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Switchgrass, and Stargazer lily.
