Notes

'White Ruffles' peony (Paeonia 'White Ruffles') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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 blooms have a yellow center and a sweet fragrance. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. David Reath bred it in 1990.

Pairs well with Eastern columbine, Guacamole hosta, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
