Notes
'Queen Victoria' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Queen Victoria') 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, bomb-type blooms open in mid to late spring. They are milk-white with occasional crimson flecks. It is a free bloomer that shrugs off abuse, and it is popular for cutting.
Pairs well with Bloodroot, Ostrich fern, Sedge, and Little Beauty tulip.
