Notes
'Ruffled Swan' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ruffled Swan') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it. The blooms make good cut flowers, so you can bring them indoors.
Pairs well with Sedge, Lily of the valley, and Lupine.
