Notes
'Madame Bréon' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame Bréon') 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. The flowers are double and pink, so they add soft color to a garden bed or to a vase indoors. Modeste Guérin bred it.
Pairs well with Hosta, Queen of Night tulip, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
