Notes
'Dance Caprice' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dance Caprice') 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 blooms age to white and have good substance. Tall, stiff stems hold the semi-double flowers upright. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with Lupine, Royal fern, and Limeglow creeping juniper.
