Notes
'Rose Gumm' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Rose Gumm') 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 double blooms are light pink. Walter L. Gumm bred it. Disease in the roots has been a problem for this peony, so look for healthy stock and give it good air flow.
Pairs well with Meadowsweet, Smooth hydrangea, and Christmas fern.
