Notes

'Khuit' peony (Paeonia 'Khuit') 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. Its large cream flowers are fragrant and fade to white. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The spreading stems can pass 35 inches, so give them support.

Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Dittany, Sweet pepperbush, and Blue grama.
