Midsummer Night’s Dream peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Midsummer Night’s Dream' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Midsummer Night’s Dream') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 blooms open in late spring with blush-white petals and a pale yellow collar. They have a moderate fragrance and look good in a vase. The stems are weak and the habit sprawls, so you may want to give it support.

Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Woolly yarrow, Limelight hydrangea, and Garlic chives.
