Notes
'Mu Chunxue' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mu Chunxue') 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 white single flowers with a tidy boss of yellow stamens in mid to late spring. The long-lasting blooms are held well above the foliage, so they are good for cutting. The upright stems stand about 40 inches tall without support.
Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Indian grass, and African marigold.
