Notes
'In Full Sail' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'In Full Sail') 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, airy, semi-double blooms are white with soft pink outer petals and measure 7½ inches wide. Each strong 30 to 32 inch stem holds 3 to 4 buds. Roy G. Klehm bred it, and it blooms in midseason.
Pairs well with Nepeta, Incrediball Storm Proof smooth hydrangea, Blue sage, and Sensitive fern.
