Notes
'Louise’s Lilac' peony (Paeonia 'Louise’s Lilac') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage 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 fragrant blooms attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Professor Arthur Percy Saunders bred it.
