Notes
'Yard Boss' peony (Paeonia 'Yard Boss') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator 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. Its large, fragrant, deep pink flowers attract butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Stained Glass hosta, Paprika yarrow, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
