Notes

'Zori' peony (Paeonia 'Zori') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. 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 blooms are pink with shades of orange, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Lyman D. Glasscock bred it.

Pairs well with Blue Angel hosta, Dense blazing star, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
