Notes
'Yellow Doodle Dandy' peony (Paeonia 'Yellow Doodle Dandy') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The fragrant yellow flowers draw butterflies and bees. Donald Robert Smith bred it from Martha W. and Smith's Yellow.
Pairs well with June hosta, Cheyenne Spirit echinacea, and Blue fescue.
