Notes

'Lady Carrington' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lady Carrington') 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 flowers are fragrant and open rose, then change to white. Kelway bred it, and the blooms last well in a vase.

Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, Switchgrass, and Stargazer lily.
