Notes
'Matchless Beauty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Matchless Beauty') 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. It has double white flowers with a broad yellow collar in early summer. The stems are stiff, so the blooms stand up well. Dr. John H. Neeley bred it.
Pairs well with Lupine, New England aster, and Garlic chives.
