Notes
'Fragrant Bouquet' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Fragrant Bouquet') 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 double cream to blush blooms are fragrant and open in late spring. Each stem carries two to four buds and stands about 30 inches tall with good strength. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Smooth hydrangea, Dalmatian bellflower, and Ostrich fern.
