Notes

'Crinkled Linens' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Crinkled Linens') 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. The large white blooms are crinkled and cup-shaped with a yellow center, and they smell fragrant. Roy G. Klehm bred it in 1986. It grows about 28 inches tall on good stems.

Pairs well with Rainbow's End hosta, Spanish bluebell, and Sensitive fern.
