Notes
'Samaritan Woman' peony (Paeonia 'Samaritan Woman') 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 large, fragrant pink flowers have silver edges, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms. The stems spread and need support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
