Notes
'Oriental Bride' peony (Paeonia 'Oriental Bride') 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. The fragrant white flowers have yellow staminodes at the center and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Samuel E. Wissing bred it.
Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Pink Impression tulip, and Polish Spirit clematis.
