Notes
'Ivory Whispers' peony (Paeonia 'Ivory Whispers') 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Its fragrant ivory blooms are six inches wide with hints of soft lemon, and Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Pale purple coneflower, and Blue grama.
