Notes
'Mother’s Day' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mother’s Day') 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 double white blooms open in mid-season. The clear white flowers sit on tall stems, so they make fine cut flowers.
Pairs well with Little Beauty tulip, Royal fern, and Arizona Sun blanket flower.
