Notes
'Madame Edna Power' peony (Paeonia 'Madame Edna Power') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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 large, soft white flowers have a pale lemon undertone, and each sturdy stem holds one bloom upright. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. John Simkins bred it.
Pairs well with August Moon hosta, Western sword fern, Stargazer lily, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
