Notes
'Lietuvos Patriotas' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lietuvos Patriotas') 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 double purple flowers have a pleasant fragrance and bloom in mid to late season. The stems grow upright to 43 inches, so give them support when in flower. O. Skeivienė's parent plants were crossed to make it.
Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Queen of Night tulip, and Garlic chives.
