Notes

'Comtesse de Morny' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Comtesse de Morny') 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. The flowers are double and lilac-rose, so they add soft color to the garden and make fine bouquets.

Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Sedge, Grape hyacinth, and Shrub rose.
