Notes
'Cameron' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Cameron') 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. It grows 35 to 47 inches tall and bears double rose blooms. Galen Burrell bred it, and the flowers make good cuttings for the vase.
Pairs well with Gooseneck loosestrife, Prairie dropseed, and Picture tulip.
