Notes
'Salmon Beauty' peony (Paeonia 'Salmon Beauty') 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 and average moisture. It bears large, fragrant double blooms in a rich pink with a salmon cast, held on long strong stems. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Black Hero tulip.
