Notes
'Carmen Sylva' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Carmen Sylva') 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 single white flowers are shaded to pink, which gives the blooms a soft look in a bouquet or a bed. Kelway bred it.
Pairs well with Incrediball Storm Proof smooth hydrangea, Queen of Night tulip, Spotted dead nettle, and Cinnamon fern.
