Notes
'Electress Seafoam' peony (Paeonia 'Electress Seafoam') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Early single flowers open a glowing coral peach with silvery edges, and they are fragrant. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Prof. Harald Fawkner bred it.
Pairs well with Wide Brim hosta, Nodding onion, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
