Faqs

Q: How does it compare to 'Swan Lake'?
A: Both have large pink/white flowers. 'Taylor's Perfection' is typically a softer pink with a more open anemone form showing petaloids, while 'Swan Lake' is often whiter with a fuller peony form. Both are exceptional.

Q: Is it cold hardy?
A: As a C. japonica, it is quite cold hardy (to around 10°F), but the large, late-season blooms can be damaged by a sudden late frost.
