Notes

'Dellinger' peony (Paeonia 'Dellinger') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant white flowers have crinkled petals around short yellow stamens, and bees and butterflies visit them.

Pairs well with Magnus coneflower, June hosta, Carlton daffodil, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
