Notes
'Cordelia' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Cordelia') 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. Hans Peter Sass bred it. You can cut the blooms for indoor bouquets. Because it is a perennial, it returns in the same spot each year, so pick a place you like.
Pairs well with Stained Glass hosta, Switchgrass, and Stargazer lily.
