Notes
'Summer Glow' peony (Paeonia 'Summer Glow') 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 and average moisture. Large, fragrant, full double flowers hold a pale yellow orange color until the petals fall. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Don Hollingsworth bred it.
Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Invincibelle Ruby smooth hydrangea, Blue grama, and Picture tulip.
