Notes
'Casablanca' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Casablanca') 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 extremely large, full double white flowers open late and sit on stiff, strong stems. The big foliage stays full all the way down the plant. Eugene H. Lins bred it.
Pairs well with Hairy aster, Spanish bluebell, and Cinnamon fern.
