'Lydiane' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Lydiane') 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 grows upright to 34 inches (85 cm) tall. The double blooms reach 6 inches (15 cm) across and open pale salmon pink, then fade to white with age. They smell pleasantly fragrant.
