Notes
'Martha Webster' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Martha Webster') 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 large, near white flowers are semi-double, so they add a soft look to any planting. William Henry Krekler bred it. Cut the blooms for a bouquet, and enjoy them in the garden too.
Pairs well with Incrediball Storm Proof smooth hydrangea, Switchgrass, and Queen of Night tulip.
