Notes

'Circus-Circus' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Circus-Circus') 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 daisy-like blooms have white petals streaked with raspberry, and some petals are ruffled. The flowers open in early to mid spring and have a slight fragrance. It grows 28 to 30 inches tall with good foliage.

Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, Immortality iris, and Foxtail barley.
