Notes

'White Queen' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'White Queen') 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. It bears white blooms that look bright in a border. You can cut the flowers for bouquets. The Chugai Nursery introduced it before 1940.

Pairs well with Maiden pink, Sedge, and Black Hero tulip.
