Notes

'Ho Hum' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ho Hum') 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 late double blooms are white with a pink center and open in late spring. William Henry Krekler bred it.

Pairs well with Balloon flower, Royal fern, and Pink Impression tulip.
