Notes

'Francelia' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Francelia') 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. Peonies return each year and form a full clump over time. Cut the stems for bouquets and enjoy the blooms indoors.

Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Black-eyed Susan, and Pink Impression tulip.
