Notes

'Henri Coré' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Henri Coré') 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. It is a tall grower with full double blush flowers in late spring and early summer. The stems can be weak in some gardens, so you may want to give it support. Edouard Doriat bred it.

Pairs well with Coralbells, Sedge, and Tiger lily.
