Notes

'Cabbage Rose' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Cabbage Rose') 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 blooms are rose in color, which gives beds and bouquets a soft look. Kelway bred it. Plant it where it can stay in place for years.

Pairs well with Hairy aster, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
