Notes
'Salmon Whisper' peony (Paeonia 'Salmon Whisper') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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 fragrant, semi-double blooms are salmon-pink with red stigmas, and the foliage is lush and deep green. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Wide Brim hosta, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
