Notes
'White Moth' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'White Moth') is a perennial for borders, cut flower 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 white single flowers open flesh white and have green carpels. It blooms freely, so you can cut plenty of stems for the vase. Edward Auten, Jr bred it.
Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, Sedge, and Phantom panicle hydrangea.
