Notes
'Eugénie Verdier' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Eugénie Verdier') 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. The large double blooms are rose-pink and pale at the petal tips. They open in mid spring on tall, strong stems and last well when cut.
Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, Annabelle hydrangea, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
