Etched Salmon
Note: Peony ship starting in mid-November based on availability and your zone, unlike other products. Plant upon arrival. As long as the soil is not frozen and is workable, peony roots can be planted.
Etched Salmon is a classic Peony introduced in 1981, known for its full, double blooms in a warm salmon-pink shade. The flowers have a soft, rose-like shape and a light, sweet fragrance. Blooms appear in late spring on sturdy 36" stems. Hardy in Zones 3–8, Etched Salmon is a great pick for cut flowers and a favorite among gardeners for its unique color. This hard-to-find variety has limited quantities.
Etched Salmon is sold as one root with 3-5 eyes.
