Notes

'Kirinmaru' peony (Paeonia 'Kirinmaru') 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 and average moisture. White flowers with red stripes open in a fragrant display and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Stella de Oro daylily, Magnus coneflower, and Stargazer lily.
