Notes
'Old Ivory' peony (Paeonia 'Old Ivory') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It bears single, creamy white, cup shaped blooms on upright stems. The flowers are fragrant and draw butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Eastern columbine, and Little bluestem.
