Notes
'Crazy Daisy' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Crazy Daisy') 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 puffy flowers have a lime green and white base with raspberry streaks and edging. They have a slight fragrance and good stem strength, so they hold up well in a vase. William Henry Krekler bred it in 1995.
Pairs well with Immortality iris, Sedge, Black Hero tulip, and Ostrich fern.
