Notes
'Pearled Dove' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pearled Dove') 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 fragrant pearl white blooms open in early to mid spring, with two or three buds on each stem. Roy G. Klehm bred it, and the glossy, deep green leaves stay thick and wide.
Pairs well with White trillium, Ostrich fern, and Hairy aster.
