Notes
'Clercke' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Clercke') 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. It bears white blooms that you can cut for the vase. Cut stems look best in a tall vase with fresh water. Kelway bred it.
Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, David garden phlox, and Ostrich fern.
