Notes
'Le You' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Le You') 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 semi-double flowers open in mid to late season with pink at the petal bases that fade to white. Plants reach about 90 cm (35.4") tall, and the upright stems need no support.
Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Smooth hydrangea, and Christmas fern.
