Description

An oldie-but-goodie, the Krinkled White Peony made its debut in the gardening world back in 1928 and ever since has stood the test of time as one of the finest. This hybrid wows with established plants producing over 100 large bowl-shaped white flowers up to 6 inches across in a single season. The slightly krinkled and notched, crepe-de-chine petals surround a prominent tuft of slightly fragrant bright yellow stamens. The flowers are perched atop sturdy stems that rise above dense clumps of deep green leaves in mid to late spring. Krinkled White is one of the most cold and heat tolerant and deer resistant varieties. A long-lived and hardy classic perennial that deserves a spot in every garden where it will grow. USDA Zones 3a-8b.


Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 24 to 30 inches tall and equally as wide, the Krinkled White Peony is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings in sunny perennial borders, around patios and other outdoor living spaces, or along paths and walkways. A fine addition to butterfly gardens, cut flower gardens, beneficial pollinator gardens, antique gardens, cottage gardens and white theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  18 to 24 inches for mass plantings; 48 inches for space between plants 


Growing Preferences

Peonies are very easy to grow in most any well-drained but moist soil of average fertility in full sun or part shade. In Zone 8 peonies would prefer a break from the hot, direct sun during the mid-afternoon hours. Provide at least 5 hours of direct sun for best flowering. As with many other perennial plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Heavy, dense clay soils should be amended with organic matter to improve drainage. Because peonies grow deep roots, they are generally drought tolerant and carefree when established. That said, some folks like to remove the spent flowers to encourage development of the small side blooms, which extends the bloom period. After the plant is finished blooming for the season spent flower stems can be removed, though this is not necessary.
