Notes
'Elora' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Elora') 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 white blooms are fragrant and have faint crimson markings on the petals. Each flower has good depth and slightly serrated edges. William Brown bred it.
Pairs well with Swamp milkweed, Cinnamon fern, and Scentara Double Blue lilac.
