Notes

'General Kuroki' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'General Kuroki') 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. George Hollis bred it. Plant it where you can enjoy the blooms both in the garden and in a vase.

Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Blue grama, and Red elderberry.
