Notes
'Betty Blossom' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Betty Blossom') 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 large, double flowers are white with a collar of narrow petals edged in gold. A tuft of yellow staminodes sits at the center. George C. Thurlow bred it.
