Notes
'Salome Wagner' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Salome Wagner') 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. Rose-pink Japanese flowers have bright rosy pink centers with yellow edges and tips. Side buds extend the bloom season. J. H. Phillips bred it.
Pairs well with Bloodroot, Ostrich fern, and Sedge.
