Notes
'Georges Cuvier' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Georges Cuvier') 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 flowers open in vivid pink. Philippe-Victor Verdier bred it, and the blooms make fine cut flowers for a vase.
Pairs well with Dog's tooth violet, Sensitive fern, Spanish bluebell, and Witch hazel.
