Notes

'Mrs. Carew' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. Carew') 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 flowers are silvery light pink and fragrant, so they make a nice cut bouquet.

Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Sensation lilac, Sensitive fern, and Carlton daffodil.
