Notes
'Cloud Castle' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Cloud Castle') 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 tall plant bears fragrant, double, deep pink blooms in late spring and early summer. The flowers have a rose scent and open easily. They last unusually well when cut.
Pairs well with Cheerfulness daffodil, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Sedge.
