Notes
'Luella Shaylor' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Luella Shaylor') 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 have a yellow center, so they stand out in a sunny bed. Cut a few blooms for a vase and enjoy them indoors. Egbert Jerome Shaylor bred it.
Pairs well with Fire and Ice hosta, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
