Notes
'Bei Mei Gui' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Bei Mei Gui') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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 fragrant white flowers open in late spring and sometimes show red flecking. Stems stand upright, so you do not need to stake them.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Invincibelle Ruby smooth hydrangea, and Queen of Night tulip.
