Notes
'Mary Wilda' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mary Wilda') 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. Its fragrant, creamy white double flowers open in mid to late spring and early summer. The upright stems carry many blooms and do not need support.
Pairs well with Great blue lobelia, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
