Notes
'Caroline Mather' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Caroline Mather') 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 double flowers are crimson with purple shading. They are fragrant, so they work well in a vase.
Pairs well with Dalmatian bellflower, Royal fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
