Notes

'Ivory Touch' peony (Paeonia 'Ivory Touch') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen plantings. 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. Its big, semi-double, near white blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. William Henry Krekler bred it.

Pairs well with Fire Island hosta, Yarrow, Sensation lilac, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
