Notes
'Wild Lactiflora' peony (Paeonia 'Wild Lactiflora') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The fragrant blooms open in spring and summer, and they attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Rainforest Sunrise hosta, Pale purple coneflower, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
