Notes
'Etienne Brule' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Etienne Brule') 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. It grows strong and bears large white flowers that open well and hold their color. Dr. Frederick G. Brethour bred it, and gardeners often compare it to Solange.
Pairs well with Prairie Sun rudbeckia, Curly Fries hosta, and Queen of Night tulip.
