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.

Where available, bare root peonies should be planted out or potted up as soon as possible, avoiding frosty or waterlogged conditions. Choose a sunny, well-drained position, as peonies flower best in full sun and dislike being moved once established.
Plant all peonies into well-prepared soil, ensuring the highest bud on the crown is no deeper than 5cm (2in) below the surface. For newly planted plants, protect emerging shoots from late frosts in their first spring. Keep plants well watered and fed during growth, using balanced, slow-release fertiliser rather than high-nitrogen feeds, and remove spent flowers once faded.
Mulch with well-rotted compost or manure, support tall stems to prevent flopping, maintain good air circulation, and remove any yellowing or diseased leaves. Leave remaining foliage intact after flowering, cutting back only in autumn once it has naturally died down. Avoid disturbing established crowns, as peonies dislike being moved may take a season or two to establish.
