Notes

'Julia Richmond' peony (Paeonia 'Julia Richmond') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Its fully double blooms are white and blush pink, and they open late and smell sweet. Gilbert S. Richmond bred it.

Pairs well with Charles Joly lilac, Fragrant Bouquet hosta, Little bluestem, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
