'Sarah M. Napier' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sarah M. Napier') 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 double flowers are deep rose pink shading to almost white, with silvery edges. They are fragrant and reach about 31 inches tall. Judge Laurence A. Vories bred it.
