Notes

'Emma Mack' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Emma Mack') 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 flowers are ivory white, so they stand out against darker foliage in a mixed planting. Cut the blooms for a vase when you want them indoors. Archie M. Brand bred it.

Pairs well with Aromatic aster, Sedge, and Smooth hydrangea.
