Notes
'Mieke Bral' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mieke Bral') 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. It bears large, fragrant white double flowers in late spring. The sidebuds open well in a vase. Stems can flop in rain and wind, so you may want to stake them.
Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Woolly yarrow, and Cinnamon fern.
