Notes
'Bride's Dream' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Bride's Dream') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. White blooms with cream centers open in spring and summer and draw butterflies. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Lady's mantle, Globemaster allium, and Purple cranesbill.
