Paeonia lactiflora ‘White Wings’
Single Peony
USDA Zone: 2-9
Garden Peonies are old favorites for late spring display, prized for their large, colourful and fragrant blooms. Plants form an upright bush of dark green leaves that stays attractive all season. This single Japanese-style selection has huge, ruffled white petals, with a contrasting golden centre to the flower. Midseason. Peonies seldom need to be divided or moved, but if necessary it should be carried out only in the fall. Flowering is always best in a sunny location. Trim off old stems to the ground in late fall, to help prevent disease problems. Excellent for cutting.
