Notes
'Walter Marx' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Walter Marx') 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 fragrant white flowers have a faint blush tinge and cup-shaped, fluted petals. Stiff stems reach 48 inches, so the 10-inch blooms need no support.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Switchgrass, Sweet William, and Smooth hydrangea.
