Notes

'Emile Hoste' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Emile Hoste') 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. Peonies return each year and make a long-lasting show in a mixed bed. Cut the blooms for vases and enjoy them indoors.

Pairs well with Prairie dropseed, Immortality iris, Smooth hydrangea, and Black Hero tulip.
