Notes
'Germaine Perthuis' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Germaine Perthuis') 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 flowers are pink, so they add soft color to a sunny bed. Millet & Son bred it, and you can cut the blooms for indoor arrangements.
Pairs well with Switchgrass, Stargazer lily, and Garlic chives.
