Notes

'Champlain' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Champlain') 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 flowers are a soft blush color that looks gentle beside bolder blooms. Mrs. Mary E.G. Freeborn bred it, so you can enjoy her work in your own garden.

Pairs well with Hairy aster, Cinnamon fern, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Limeglow creeping juniper.
