Notes
'Duc de Cazes' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Duc de Cazes') 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. It bears fragrant, double pink blooms in early summer. The plants grow tall, so you may want to stake them. Modeste Guérin bred it.
Pairs well with Showy milkweed, Queen of Night tulip, and Western sword fern.
