Notes
'Summer Glory' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Summer Glory') 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 large, double flowers are medium pink and fade to silver as they age. Strong stems hold the blooms up on a plant of medium height. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it.
Pairs well with Catnip, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Cinnamon fern.
