Plant description
A reliable and long-standing favourite, this herbaceous peony produces large single white flowers with gently crinkled petals and a prominent tuft of golden stamens at the centre. Blooms appear in late spring to early summer on strong, upright stems that rarely need staking, and the flowers hold up well in wet weather. The simple form makes it an excellent choice for cutting, with a fresh, elegant look in arrangements.
Foliage is finely divided, rich green, and remains attractive long after the flowers have faded, providing structure and colour into late summer before showing autumn tints. Growth is bushy and robust, creating a neat clump that sits well among other perennials in a mixed border.
Paeonia lactiflora ‘Krinkled White’ combines ease of care, weather tolerance, and striking blooms ensuring it remains a popular choice for both traditional and contemporary planting schemes.

How to care for Paeonia lactiflora Krinkled White:
Bare root plants should either be potted up or planted out as soon as possible while avoiding frosty or waterlogged conditions. Plant all peonies into well-prepared soil, making sure that the highest bud on the crown is no deeper than 5cm (2in) below the soil surface.
In growth, keep well fed and watered, and remove spent flowers after they have faded. In each subsequent spring, apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure.

Peonies - magical plants in every sense
