Notes

'Glorious Genevieve' peony (Paeonia 'Glorious Genevieve') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, 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 lilac single flowers open in spring and have a subtle fragrance. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Swenson Gardens bred it.

Pairs well with Culver’s root, Blue Mouse Ears hosta, and Indian grass.
