Notes
'Pui' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pui') 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 blooms have a ring of golden yellow petalodes at the center. Harald Juhr bred it, and it normally carries three buds per stem.
Pairs well with Ostrich fern, Pussytoes, and African marigold.
