Paeonia 'Peppermint Stick' Peony
Paeonia 'Peppermint Stick' is a garden standout with its late-spring blooms and unique, striped petals. Growing 24 to 36 inches tall, it produces large chrysanthemum-shaped flowers with white petals streaked in red, resembling candy canes. At their center, sunny golden stamens and red carpel tips add a dramatic touch. These florist-quality blooms are ideal for cutting and bring cheer to spring bouquets and floral arrangements.
A Paeonia lactiflora species, 'Peppermint Stick' is a reliable and long-lived perennial (Zones 3-8) with glossy green foliage that remains attractive through the season and offers colorful fall tones. With its upright habit, this peony shines as a focal point in beds, borders, or containers, especially when planted en masse for maximum impact.
Carefree and low maintenance, 'Peppermint Stick' grows best in sunny to partially shaded locations with rich, well-draining soil. Afternoon shade is beneficial in warmer climates, and the plant thrives when protected from strong winds. Regular watering and spring fertilization will help it reach its full potential. Deer and rabbit resistant, it's a great choice for easy gardening.
Plant 'Peppermint Stick' peony roots in early spring or fall, spacing them 3 to 4 inches apart and 1 ½ to 2 inches deep. Choose a location where they can remain undisturbed, as peonies dislike transplanting. These flowers also require cold winters to develop their stunning blooms.
