Notes
'Clorinda' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Clorinda') 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 blush white blooms have a rose fragrance and a crown or low bomb shape. They have no stamens and last well as cut flowers. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with Balloon flower, Rose, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
