Notes
'Caroline Allain' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Caroline Allain') 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 bears double rose flowers that look full and rich in a vase or in the garden. Modeste Guérin bred it, so it comes from a long line of French peony breeding.
Pairs well with Dalmatian bellflower, Royal fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
