Notes

'Late Festiva' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Late Festiva') 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 double white flowers make a fine show in the garden and in a vase. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it.

Pairs well with Francee hosta, Royal fern, Rose, and Black Parrot tulip.
