Notes
'White Doves' peony (Paeonia 'White Doves') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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 cupped white flowers have light yellow centers, a mild fragrance, and good stem strength. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Don Hollingsworth bred it.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Black Hero tulip, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
