Notes

'Conquerer' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Conquerer') 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. Its lilac rose blooms are large, flat, and fragrant, and they open in mid-season. The flowers fade somewhat in sun, so part sun may help the color last. Hollis bred it.

Pairs well with Rainbow's End hosta, Miss Kim lilac, and Indian grass.
