Notes
'Good’s Gem' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Good’s Gem') 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 Japanese type flowers are white with yellow staminodes and red carpels. This dwarf peony stays compact, so it suits the front of a bed.
Pairs well with Gooseneck loosestrife, Maiden pink, Garlic chives, and Queen of Night tulip.
