Notes
'Glorious Blush' peony (Paeonia 'Glorious Blush') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Early blooming, fragrant flowers open blush pink with lavender-pink centers. The upright plants reach about 30 inches and need no support. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Praying Hands hosta, Annabelle hydrangea, Blue grama, and Woodland phlox.
