Notes
'K-Nina' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'K-Nina') 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 white, double blooms are ball shaped and fragrant. Each stem carries four buds and stands about 30 inches tall. McCrae bred it, and it first bloomed in 1993.
Pairs well with Ostrich fern, Miss Kim lilac, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Ageratum.
