Notes
'Belle Douaisienne' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Belle Douaisienne') 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. Jacques Calot bred it. The double pink flowers are fragrant, so you can cut a few to enjoy indoors.
Pairs well with Compass plant, Blue sage, Blue grama, and Grape hyacinth.
