Notes
'Lucie Malard' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lucie Malard') 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. It bears fragrant, double pink blooms in early summer. The flowers have a sweet scent that fills a garden, and they last well in a vase. François-Félix Crousse bred it.
Pairs well with Sedge, Picture tulip, and Sensitive fern.
