Notes
'Rosy Glow' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Rosy 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 light violet rose, single blooms are saucer shaped with a small round bunch of yellow stamens. Long, stiff stems hold the fragrant flowers upright. Lyman D. Glasscock bred it.
Pairs well with Rainbow's End hosta, Monkshood, and Queen of Night tulip.
