Notes
'Mabel Claire' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mabel Claire') 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 blooms are cerise, which adds bold color to a sunny border. Cut the stems for bouquets when you want flowers indoors.
Pairs well with Guacamole hosta, Ostrich fern, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
