Notes

'Laius' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Laius') 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 blooms are white, so they stand out against dark foliage and mixed plantings. Plant it where nearby shrubs and grasses can frame the flowers, and cut stems for bouquets indoors.

Pairs well with Wild geranium, Prairie dropseed, and Black Hero tulip.
