Notes
'Purity' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Purity') is a perennial for borders, cut flower use, 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 white flowers have a Japanese type form, and the carpels are tipped with pink. Bunting bred it. The compact, upright habit keeps the plant neat in the bed.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Stargazer lily, and Garlic chives.
