Notes
'Keren' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Keren') 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 double flowers are pink with a flush of lavender. They open in early to mid summer on stems that hold them well above the foliage. R.H. Jones bred it.
Pairs well with Sedge, Grape hyacinth, and Sensitive fern.
