Notes
'Colour Carousel' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Colour Carousel') 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. Fragrant, warm pink, semi-double flowers open in late spring and fade to nearly white as they age. Plants stand upright and need no support in most conditions.
Pairs well with Japanese spirea, Ostrich fern, Sedge, and Alaska violet.
