Notes
'Felix Crousse' peony (Paeonia 'Felix Crousse') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and wide, so give it room.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Charles Joly lilac, Dittany, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
