Notes
'Dr F.R. Huxley' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dr F.R. Huxley') 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 double flowers are white with a hint of pink when they first open. Good stems make the blooms a fine choice for cutting.
Pairs well with Orange daylily, Black Parrot tulip, Sensitive fern, and Fragrant sumac.
