Notes

'Rossweisse' peony (Paeonia 'Rossweisse') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Each upright stem carries one single white flower, 7 inches across, with pale green carpels and pink stigmas. Michael Miely introduced it in 2012. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, Annabelle hydrangea, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Blue grama.
