Notes
'Annabessacook' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Annabessacook') 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 flowers have a Japanese type form, which means the blooms look layered and full. Benjamin W. Guppy bred it, so you can enjoy a classic peony in your garden.
Pairs well with Nepeta, Solomon's seal, Phantom panicle hydrangea, and Black Parrot tulip.
