Notes
'Ball White' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ball White') 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. It forms a medium, upright clump. The double white blooms make a bright show in the garden and in a vase. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Lewis bred it.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Spanish bluebell, and Sensitive fern.
