Notes

'Opha' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Opha') 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 blooms early with large, pure white, single flowers. The strong stems stand medium tall. Gilbert H. Wild & Son bred it.

Pairs well with Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, Black Hero tulip, and Ostrich fern.
