Paeonia 'Glory Be' | Glory Be Peony
DESCRIPTION
Paeonia ‘Glory Be’ produces single-form blossoms in soft cherry pink with broad, slightly ruffled petals that surround a tufted golden center made up of prominent stamens and bright cherry-colored stigmas. Blooming in mid to late spring, its flowers are held on sturdy stems that display well above the foliage. The form is open and welcoming to pollinators, especially bees, which are drawn to the accessible pollen in the heart of each bloom.
The foliage remains clean and full into summer, contributing lush green texture after flowering has ended. As a hybrid herbaceous peony, ‘Glory Be’ combines ornamental performance with reliability in both garden and cut flower settings. Its cheerful blossoms, upright growth habit, and mid-season timing make it a dependable presence in late spring landscapes.
