Notes

'Sea Nymph' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sea Nymph') 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 semi-double flowers open pink and fade to white. It is a low plant with a pretty bloom. Dr. John H. Neeley bred it.

Pairs well with Charles Joly lilac, Woolly yarrow, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Western sword fern.
