Notes
'Elvina' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Elvina') 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 large pink flowers have narrow petals and a sweet fragrance. They open in early summer on tall plants. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Swamp milkweed, Tall fescue, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
