Notes
'Blanche Turner' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Blanche Turner') 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 bears white blooms that look fresh beside darker foliage in a border. Cut the stems for a vase when the buds begin to open. H.A. Terry bred it.
