Notes
'Kinlen' peony (Paeonia 'Kinlen') is a perennial for borders, 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. It has fine, fern-like leaves, blooms early, and takes up little space in the garden. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Solaris Farms introduced it.
Pairs well with Stained Glass hosta, Maiden pink, and Switchgrass.
