Notes

'White Water' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'White Water') 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. The huge white double blooms open in mid to late spring and can reach nine inches across. Strong stems and a good habit make it a reliable bloomer.

Pairs well with Perennial candytuft, Sedge, Invincibelle Ruby smooth hydrangea, and Picture tulip.
