Notes
'Duchesse de Theba' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Duchesse de Theba') 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 double, fragrant flowers in light pink that fade to flesh-white. Jacques Foulard bred it, so it makes a fine pick for bouquets.
Pairs well with Rose, Monkshood, and Ostrich fern.
