Notes
'Lady Mary Dashwood' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lady Mary Dashwood') 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. It grows tall and bears white flowers that suit a sunny border. Kelway bred it, so it comes from a long line of garden peonies. Cut the stems for bouquets once the buds show color.
Pairs well with Obedient plant, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Carlton daffodil, and Sensitive fern.
