Notes
'Vera Terry' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Vera Terry') 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. The double white blooms carry a soft lilac tinge. They look lovely in a vase, so you can cut a few for indoors. H.A. Terry bred it.
Pairs well with Empress Wu hosta, Prairie dropseed, Black Hero tulip, and Quick Fire panicle hydrangea.
