Notes
'Juliette Dessert' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Juliette Dessert') 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 are dark crimson and measure 7.5 on the source scale. Cut the blooms for bouquets, and the deep color stands out against lighter flowers in a vase.
