Notes

'Inez T. Burkett' peony (Paeonia 'Inez T. Burkett') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. It bears large, fragrant, single white flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Gilbert S. Richmond bred it.

Pairs well with Patriot hosta, Nodding onion, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Arrowwood viburnum.
