Notes

'Jill' peony (Paeonia 'Jill') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 early, creamy white double flowers are fragrant and face upward on stems that need no support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Clustered bellflower, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Carlton daffodil.
