'Dawn Waltz' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dawn Waltz') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, 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 soft pink blooms have blush to cream centers and open in midseason. Each stem carries 2 to 3 buds, and the stems are strong. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
