Notes
'Lietuvos Čempionas' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lietuvos Čempionas') 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. Fragrant, pale purple flowers with darker pink dots open in late spring and face upward. The plant spreads and reaches about 120 cm (47.25") tall, so give it support. The name translates to Lithuanian Champion.
Pairs well with Immortality iris, Shrub rose, and Blue grama.
