Bowl of Cream Garden Peony
Fragrant creamy-white blooms to 8 inches in diameter are held upright by strong stems on Bowl of Cream peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Bowl of Cream'), a hybrid created by Carl G. Klehm. Plant in full sun, in moderately fertile and moist soils, and leave it place! This plant is free of insects and diseases. All peonies dislike disturbance of their root systems and will take a couple of years to rebound when transplanted. Ants on top of the opening buds are harvesting nectar from specialized glands and do no harm to the plant.
