Notes
'Sleepy Hollow' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sleepy Hollow') 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 tall plant bears large single white flowers that open blush in early to mid spring. The blooms make a fine show and last a long time. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with False Solomon's seal, Picture tulip, and Christmas fern.
