Notes
'Climax' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Climax') 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 single flowers are cherry-rose, and they open in a cerise shade. Kelway bred it, and the blooms look lovely in a vase.
