Notes
'William E. B. DuBois' peony (Paeonia 'William E. B. DuBois') 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, average moisture, and loamy soil. Fragrant, creamy-white single blooms with a yellow center open above a broad bush, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Peter Waltz bred it.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan, Halcyon hosta, and Sedge.
