Notes

'Symphony' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Symphony') 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. Its large, light salmon pink flowers have a delicate fragrance. It is a strong grower that forms clusters and blooms in early to mid spring. The blooms last well in a vase.

Pairs well with Rainforest Sunrise hosta, Cornflower, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
