Notes

'Mrs. John M. Good' peony (Paeopnia lactiflora 'Mrs. John M. Good') 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 mid-season flowers are snow white, flat, and many petalled, and they often reach nine inches across. Each strong, stout stem carries three to four blooms, so the plant looks balanced.

Pairs well with Lily of the valley, Sedge, and Incrediball Storm Proof smooth hydrangea.
