Notes

Yumi peony (Paeonia 'Yumi (Beauty)') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen use. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The fragrant blooms attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Flowers open in spring and again in summer.

Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Clustered bellflower, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
