Double white flowers with hints of blush pink age to ivory as the blooms mature. The flowers appear in mid-peony season and are great for cutting. Grow in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Peonies are extremely long lived and fairly low maintenance plants and are very sensitive to proper planting depth. They should be planted so that the buds are 1" below the soil surface as planting too deep may result in lack of flowering.
