Notes
'Salmon Jazz' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Salmon Jazz') 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 semi-double blooms are salmon-pink with cream shading and streaks, and they smell fragrant. Roy G. Klehm bred it, and it has good stems that reach about 33 inches tall.
Pairs well with Bloodroot, Ostrich fern, and Sedge.
