Notes

'Seioba' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Seioba') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 Japanese type flowers are white, medium in size, and open in mid season. The blooms have white staminodes and no pollen. The plant is medium in size and spreads, so give it room.

Pairs well with Great blue lobelia, Woolly yarrow, and Charles Joly lilac.
