Peony Peony x 'Bowl of Beauty' Zone 4-8

Ultra delicate pink and crème colored flowers appear in mid spring. This quick grower starts from almost nothing in late winter to a 2 foot tall plant by with flowers by mid to late spring.

Plant in full sun and water regularly for best growth. Cut down to a few inches in late fall once the foliage has browned. Prefers slightly acidic, well drained soil.

Try and protect peony's delicate flowers from getting wet when watering as it will quickly ruin the look of the flower. You may also want to use tomato cages to keep them from flopping over.
