Notes
'Camille' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Camille') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 flowers are single and purple, and they stand out in a sunny border. Cut a few stems for a vase and enjoy the color indoors. Auguste Dessert bred it in 1921.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Garlic chives, and Limeglow creeping juniper.
