Notes
'Christabel' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Christabel') 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 blush with a white center, which gives the plant a soft look in the garden. Its gentle color works well beside plants with bolder foliage. Kelway bred it.
Pairs well with Catnip, Smooth hydrangea, and Foxtail barley.
