Notes
'Fontenelle' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Fontenelle') 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. Its red blooms add bold color to the border, and you can cut the stems for bouquets. John F. Rosenfield or Rosefield bred it.
