Notes

'Caub' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Caub') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 blooms are silvery pink. Cut the stems for bouquets once the buds show color.

Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Cinnamon fern, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
