Notes

'Belle Mauve' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Belle Mauve') 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. Victor Lemoine bred it. The double, fragrant, rose flowers open in early summer on tall plants.

Pairs well with False Solomon's seal, Cinnamon fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
