Notes
'Bill Krekler' peony (Paeonia 'Bill Krekler') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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 fragrant, double pink flowers have broad petals with lighter tips and crinkled edges. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Walter Z. Mains bred it.
Pairs well with Blue Angel hosta, Woodland phlox, Nodding onion, and Blue grama.
