Notes

'Glow' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Glow') 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 Japanese type flowers have deep cerise guards with yellow staminodes laid over the center. David C. Stranger bred it.

Pairs well with Hosta, Western sword fern, Polish Spirit clematis, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
