Notes
'Rainbow Bridge' peony (Paeonia 'Rainbow Bridge') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. The coral, red, and pink blooms open in early to late spring and fade to creamy pink as they age. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Nate Bremer bred it.
Pairs well with Cat mint, Big bluestem, and Weigela.
