Notes
'Homère' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Homère') 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. Its blooms are mauve, so they add soft color to the garden and to a vase.
Pairs well with Baby's breath, Black Parrot tulip, Quick Fire panicle hydrangea, and Spanish bluebell.
