Notes
'Ptashyne Moloko' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ptashyne Moloko') 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 white flowers have creamy centers and a touch of pink inside. They open late in spring and face upward, with two to four on each stem. Tall stems benefit from support.
Pairs well with Perennial candytuft, Blazing star, Sedge, and Miss Kim lilac.
