Notes

'Snow Cloud' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Snow Cloud') 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. Its large, double, fragrant flowers open ivory white with a hint of rose and age to cream. Hoogendoorn bred it, and it blooms early.

Pairs well with Tickseed, Royal fern, and Spanish bluebell.
