'Luxor' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Luxor') 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 up to 31 inches tall and bears fragrant, double white blooms. Hans Peter Sass bred it, and it blooms at the same time as Mons. Jules Elie.
