Notes
'Gladys Taylor' peony (Paeonia 'Gladys Taylor') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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 double, near white blooms open in spring and age to silver, and butterflies and bees visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Sedge, and Little Beauty tulip.
