Notes

'Madame Adrien Sénéclauze' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame Adrien Sénéclauze') is a perennial for borders 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. Sénéclauze bred it in 1875. The large, semi-rose blooms are rose magenta and open in mid-season. The strong, erect stems carry light green leaves and flower freely.

Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Prairie dropseed, and Black Hero tulip.
