'Dream' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Dream') 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 white flowers have a Japanese form with a lemon ball center. It makes a good bushy plant and a fine cutter. William Henry Krekler bred it, and it was introduced in 1977.
