Notes
'Edith Arbeiter' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Edith Arbeiter') 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. Large, fragrant pink and white blooms open in late spring from round buds. The short, upright stems carry dark green foliage. Lyman D. Glasscock bred it.
