Notes
'Cameo Puffs' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Cameo Puffs') 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. Roy G. Klehm bred it. The fragrant pink semi-double blooms open from puff-like buds and reach 5½ inches across. Each stem carries one bud, and plants stand about 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Spanish bluebell, Sedge, and Sensitive fern.
