Notes
'Camellia White' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Camellia White') 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 fragrant white flowers have a ball form and open in early summer. Each stem carries two to four buds, so the stems make good cut flowers. Roy G. Klehm bred it, and the deep green foliage looks good all season.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, Japanese spirea, and Picture tulip.
