Notes
'Siloam' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Siloam') 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. Its white double blooms open in late spring. The flat, well formed flowers have a rose fragrance. Edward Auten, Jr. bred it.
Pairs well with Maltese cross, Blue sage, Stargazer lily, and Garlic chives.
