Notes

'Weisse Perle' peony (Paeonia 'Weisse Perle') is a perennial for borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 small, fragrant white flowers are cupped, sit one to a stem, and never fully open. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
