Notes
'Fairy Dream' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Fairy 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 large, full flowers look like lacy roses, with off white petals that fade to faint pink and seem cut with pinking shears. Jesse C. Nicholls bred it.
Pairs well with Wild geranium, Tickseed, and Royal fern.
