Killington peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Killington' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Killington') 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, double white flowers open in late spring and have a tea rose fragrance. Every stalk blooms, and the plant grows strong and medium in height. Mrs. Mary E.G. Freeborn bred it.

Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Royal fern, and Spanish bluebell.
