Notes

'New Moon' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'New Moon') 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 near white flowers have a Japanese form with a bright yellow center. Krekler bred it, and you can cut the blooms for a vase.

Pairs well with Wide Brim hosta, Solomon's seal, and Pink Impression tulip.
