Peony ‘White Cap’

Product Details

The Japanese Peony ‘White Cap’ boasts large, magenta petals surrounding a honeycomb of creamy white filaments blushed with pink. A popular, APS Gold Medal winner prized for its elegant presence in the garden. Midseason.

We ship large roots with 3–5 eyes that are fresh from the growing fields. While a newly planted Peony seldom makes a first-class show in its first season, these vigorous plants will reach the top of their form in their second or third year. Southern gardeners should provide afternoon shade. Bare root.

There isn’t a more rewarding garden flower than the herbaceous Peony, and a garden without these plants is a sorry thing indeed. Peony flowers range from exquisitely delicate singles to large and lush doubles, and come in shades ranging from pure white to the deepest, darkest red.

Peonies produce their extravagant display in early June every year, regardless of weather, because they are among the most durable and longest-lived plants. They have no natural enemies, no exacting cultural requirements beyond full sun and neutral to slightly sweet soil, and they shrug off cold. After bloom is complete, you are left with a handsome mound of glossy, deep green foliage that will happily anchor the next sequence of bloom in the neighborhood. Finally, Peonies make superior cut flowers, lasting more than a week if cut in full bud.
