Notes
'Alice May Brethour' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Alice May Brethour') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The double flowers are blush pink and fragrant. Dr. Frederick G. Brethour bred it, so you can bring its sweet scent indoors in a vase.
Pairs well with Monkshood, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Sensitive fern.
