Notes

'E.P. Wheeler' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'E.P. Wheeler') 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. Peonies come back each year and make a good anchor in a mixed bed. You can cut the stems for bouquets.

Pairs well with Moonshine yarrow, Nodding onion, and Christmas fern.
