Notes

'Charles Gosselin' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Charles Gosselin') 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. It bears pink blooms that you can cut and bring indoors for bouquets. Plant it in a border or perennial bed where the pink color can stand out. Modeste Guérin bred it.

Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Limelight hydrangea, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Royal fern.
