'Crazy Aboutcha' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Crazy Aboutcha') 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 double blooms are white with broad brush-strokes of rose to red, and the petals are ruffled and frilled. Each stem carries about 3 fragrant flowers that open in late spring. The upright plant stands on its own without support.
