Notes
'Bowl of Cream' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Bowl of Cream') is a perennial for borders and low-maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The cream blooms are lightly fragrant and attract butterflies. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Carl G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Lady's mantle, Foxglove, Globemaster allium, and Willow bell.
