Notes
'Barbara Scheve' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Barbara Scheve') 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 large blush-white flowers are double and refined. They are fragrant, so they make a good pick for cutting. Julian L. Janus bred it.
Pairs well with Lupine, Creeping phlox, and Sedge.
