Notes

'Garden Peace' peony (Paeonia 'Garden Peace') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Its fragrant white single blooms sit high above dark green leaves, and side buds give it a long flowering season. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Saunders bred it in 1941.

Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Clustered bellflower, and Nodding onion.
