Notes
'Mrs. Harriet Gentry' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. Harriet Gentry') 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 bears double, pure white blooms in late spring, with a greenish tinge at the base of the petals. It is a strong grower and a free bloomer, so it gives plenty of flowers for cutting.
Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Sedge, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
