Notes
'King Boreas' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'King Boreas') is a perennial for borders, cut flower 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. The pure white blooms are globular, large, and full, and they open in late spring. Heavy stems hold the flowers erect, and the foliage is deep green. Wilkus bred it.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Sensitive fern, Carlton daffodil, and Orange lily.
