Notes

'Canari' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Canari') 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 about 35 inches tall and bears fragrant, double white blooms. Modeste Guérin bred it, so you can enjoy a classic peony in your garden.

Pairs well with Smooth aster, Columbine, Sedge, and Smooth hydrangea.
