Notes
'Donna Berkley' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Donna Berkley') 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 large, pure white flowers have a full rose form and bloom in late spring. Strong stems of medium height hold the blooms up well. Hans Peter Sass bred it.
Pairs well with Tickseed, Cinnamon fern, and Garlic chives.
