Notes
'Eva Gauthier' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Eva Gauthier') 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 flowers have a Japanese type form, and they belong to the lactiflora group of peonies. Plant it in a sunny border where the blooms can stand out, then cut some for a vase. Harry A. Norton bred it.
Pairs well with Pale purple coneflower, Switchgrass, and Musk mallow.
