Notes
'Christine Carrette' peony (Paeonia 'Christine Carrette') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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 fragrant, double magenta flowers hold their color and do not burn in harsh sunlight. Sturdy stems stand up on their own without support. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, Sedge, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
