Notes
'Dr J.H. Neeley' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dr J.H. Neeley') 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 white blooms are substantial and open just before most double peonies burst into flower. They sit on sturdy, well foliaged stems about a yard long, so they are good for cutting. It is an inexpensive and dependable plant.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Garlic chives, Pearly everlasting, and New Jersey tea.
