Notes
'White Beauty' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'White Beauty') 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. Mid-season bloom brings large, fragrant, double white flowers. The stems are good for cutting. Edward Auten, Jr bred it, and it needs support in wet weather.
Pairs well with Dalmatian bellflower, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Christmas fern.
