Notes

'Snow White' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Snow White') 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. It grows tall and bears double, pure white blooms with a high-centered, round form. The flowers are medium sized, so they work well in a vase. Harry F. Little bred it.

Pairs well with Rainforest Sunrise hosta, Prairie dropseed, and African Queen lily.
