'Blonde' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Blonde') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 blooms are bomb type and show light pink and cream. It has good stems and a rather dwarf habit. W. A. Dana bred it.
