Notes
'The Nymph' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'The Nymph') 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 double white blooms make a soft show in the garden. Rev. Charles Simmons Harrison bred this peony. You can pair it with other perennials in a mixed bed.
Pairs well with Purrsian Blue nepeta, White Feather hosta, and Prairie dropseed.
