Notes

'Falaise' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Falaise') 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. Keagey bred it. It belongs to the Paeoniaceae family, and it fits well in a bed with other perennials. Cut stems make this peony a good pick for bouquets.

Pairs well with Spotted joe-pye weed, Little bluestem, and Garlic chives.
