Notes

'Walter E. Wipson' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Walter E. Wipson') is a perennial for borders 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 full double blooms are white with a creamy blush center and open late in the season. The heavy stems stand upright, so the flowers hold well in the garden. The dark green foliage is heavy and distinctive.

Pairs well with Phantom panicle hydrangea, Pink Impression tulip, Royal fern, and Pussytoes.
