Notes

'Dairy Anne' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dairy Anne') 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. Large white blooms have a yellow center tuft and a sweet scent. The short, strong stems hold the flowers up well, so staking is rarely needed. Roy G. Klehm bred it.

Pairs well with Arizona Sun blanket flower, Picture tulip, and Kentucky bluegrass.
