Notes
'Manchu Princess' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Manchu Princess') 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 white blooms have a double row of cupped petals tinged with coffee color. Anthers and filaments are lemon yellow. Light shade helps the flowers last longer.
Pairs well with Iris, Grape hyacinth, Ostrich fern, and Sedge.
