Notes

'Glory Be' peony (Paeonia 'Glory Be') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage 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. It grows about 28 inches tall and has fragrant, light pink, single flowers. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Charles Joly lilac, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
