Notes

'Flo Saylor' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Flo Saylor') is a perennial for borders, cut flower 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 extra large flowers are deep pink with a yellow center of long, dense stamens. Tall, strong stems hold them above green foliage. William Henry Krekler bred it.

Pairs well with Immortality iris, Cinnamon fern, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Rose.
