Notes
'Bouquet Perfect' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Bouquet Perfect') is a perennial for borders, cutting gardens, and fragrant plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun. The anemone type flowers are bright pink to magenta and lightly fragrant. Strong stems reach about 32 inches tall, so they hold the blooms well. Robert William Tischler bred it.
Pairs well with Paul Scherer tulip, Ernest Markham clematis, and Marsh mallow.
