Notes
'My Love' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'My Love') 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 fragrant, pearly white flowers are double and cone shaped. They open from late spring to early summer on strong stems. Don Hollingsworth bred it, and it grows on a dark green bush.
Pairs well with Spanish bluebell, Sensitive fern, and Blue sage.
