Notes
'Vanilla Cream' peony (Paeonia 'Vanilla Cream') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The ivory semi-double flowers are brushed with blush pink at the base and have a strong fragrance. Plants reach about 35 inches tall, and you can add support if the stems flop.
Pairs well with Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Nodding onion.
