The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a peptide composition for non-covalently localizing fibrous connective tissue-inducing growth factor to a surface of an implant, the composition comprising a peptide having binding affinity for a surface material of an implant coupled to a peptide having binding affinity for a fibrous connective tissue-inducing growth factor. Methods are provided for delivering fibrous connective tissue-inducing growth factor GDF-7 in an amount effective to promote fibrous connective tissue repair and fibrous connective tissue formation. Also provided are methods of applying the peptide composition to an implant by contacting the composition with a surface of the implant; and kits comprising the compositions.
