Notes
'Adelaide E. Hollis' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Adelaide E. Hollis') 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. Hollis bred it in 1907. The large, fragrant, rose white blooms open mid-season and fade to pure white. The compact, erect plants have light green leaves and make excellent cut flowers.
Pairs well with Balloon flower, Prairie dropseed, and Christmas fern.
