Notes
'Swan Lake' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Swan Lake') 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 white, semi-double flowers open in late spring and have a high degree of fragrance. Plants reach about 80 cm (31") tall, and support helps the stems in bad weather.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Garlic chives, and Shrub rose.
