Notes
'La Belle Hélène' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'La Belle Hélène') 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. Its flowers are white, so they stand out against dark foliage in a mixed bed.
Pairs well with Wild bergamot, Queen of Night tulip, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
