Notes
'Ivory Escort' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ivory Escort') 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 fragrant, flat blooms are ivory with occasional red streaks and show gold stamens. Each strong stem carries three to four buds in early summer. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
