Notes
'Comte de Gomer' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Comte de Gomer') 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. Its double flowers are purple-red and fragrant. Jacques Calot bred it, and it is a good pick when you want blooms to cut for a vase.
Pairs well with Sweet William, Lilac, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
