Notes
'Balfour' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Balfour') 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 double flowers are cherry-rose, so they stand out in a bouquet or along a border. Kelway bred it.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Royal fern, and Spanish bluebell.
