Paeonia Green Halo

Paeonia ‘Green Halo’. This is a truly extraordinary peony. The peony Green Halo has semi to fully double flowers that are essentially white, but what is so extraordinary about them is that the white petals are effectively 'guarded' by green petals, and there are also irregular green petals, which appear within the flower. The uniquely colored flowers of this perennial are up to 20 cm in diameter and are slightly fragrant. Also suitable for cut flowers. Hybridized by Roy G. Klehm in the USA. Ideal for the perennial flowerbed. A must-have perennial!

 How to grow Paeonia lactiflora - the Chinese peony

The Chinese peony or common garden peony is native to central and eastern Asia from eastern Tibet across northern China to eastern Siberia. There are several hundred selected cultivars of Chinese peony in a range of colors, sizes and forms. Many have double flowers, and many colors are available, from pure white, to pink, rose, and near red, along with single to fully double forms. Most of the cultivars are fragrant. The Chinese peony is an easily grown and undemanding perennial. Paeonia lactiflora prefers full sun, although a few types will tolerate light shade. They prefer a good, fertile, well-drained soil, which is preferably neutral to alkaline. These large perennials are tolerant to a wide range of soil conditions, but will not survive if the soil becomes waterlogged or too dry.
