Notes
'Summer Day' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Summer Day') 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 double flowers are white, tinted blush. Kelway bred it, and the blooms make a lovely armful for a vase.
Pairs well with Charles Joly lilac, Black Hero tulip, Pincushion flower, and Christmas fern.
