Comments: Though technically a hybrid peony ‘Bernice Carr’ looks for all the world like a cultivar of P. lactiflora. It is an easy peony that harmonizes well in perennial border with soft colours. The foliage is dark green and in most situations where it is not too exposed and has neighbours it will not need staking.
