Notes
'Priscilla Alden' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Priscilla Alden') 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. Its large white blooms are rose type, slightly tinted, and have a pleasing scent. The stiff stems hold the flowers up well. Arthur H. Fewkes bred it, and it blooms early.
Pairs well with Columbine, Sedge, and Lily of the valley.
