Notes
'Lavender Bouquet' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lavender Bouquet') is a perennial for borders, cut flower 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 full double flowers are lilac pink with an orchid cast, hold well when cut, and sit on tall, strong stems above dark green leaves. Jesse C. Nicholls bred it.
Pairs well with Dalmatian bellflower, Black Hero tulip, and Ostrich fern.
