Notes
'Orticola Milano' peony (Paeonia 'Orticola Milano') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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, semi-double flowers are ivory white with an apricot glow at the center. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Roberto Gamoletti bred this peony.
Pairs well with Wide Brim hosta, Blue grama, Black Parrot tulip, and Spotted joe-pye weed.
