Notes
'Edulis Alba' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Edulis Alba') 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. Fragrant white blooms with lilac shading open in early spring. Each cream center is flecked with crimson. The dark green leaves look full, and the flowers make good cut blooms.
Pairs well with Columbine, Ostrich fern, and Little Beauty tulip.
