Notes

'Dr H.C. Cooper' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dr H.C. Cooper') 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 flowers are white and semi-double. They look lovely in a vase, so you can cut a few for indoors.

Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Dancing Queen hosta, and Switchgrass.
