Notes

'Rare Brocade' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Rare Brocade') 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. It bears white Japanese type flowers in mid season. The plant stays medium size and compact, so it fits easily into a border.

Pairs well with Culver’s root, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
