Notes
'Rosy Flash' peony (Paeonia 'Rosy Flash') 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. Fragrant light pink flowers have darker rose flares and draw bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Roger F. Anderson bred it, and the early foliage emerges burgundy before it matures to green.
Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Annabelle hydrangea, and Switchgrass.
