Notes

'White Wicker' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'White Wicker') 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 fragrant white blooms measure 6 and one half inches across and are semi-double to double. Strong stems carry two to four buds each, so the plant flowers heavily. Roy G. Klehm bred it.

Pairs well with Ostrich fern, Grape hyacinth, and Limeglow creeping juniper.
