Notes
'White Moon' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'White Moon') 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. Its white, fragrant flowers sit on 30 inch stems and hold up well. The foliage is fine and medium green. Myron D. Bigger bred it in 1970.
Pairs well with Lady's mantle, Royal fern, and Miss Kim lilac.
