Notes

'Mary E. Nicholls' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mary E. Nicholls') 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 double flowers have wide, pure white petals with a warm tone. Stems are strong and the blooms last well, so it grows and blooms well.

Pairs well with Aromatic aster, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
