Notes

'Gloria Romanorum' peony (Paeonia 'Gloria Romanorum') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant yellow double flowers measure about 7.9 inches across and face outward. Stems may need support when the blooms open fully.

Pairs well with Praying Hands hosta, Annabelle hydrangea, and Blue grama.
