Notes

'Snow Brook' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Snow Brook') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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, flesh-white blooms form a neat dome of petals with a slight fragrance. It grows tall, so give it a spot where you can enjoy it often. Ernest Flint Kelsey bred it.

Pairs well with Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, Japanese spirea, and Garlic chives.
