Notes
'Mrs. Gwyn Lewis' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. Gwyn Lewis') 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 stays short and bears fragrant white blooms that make a bright show in late spring. Cut a few stems to bring the scent indoors.
