Notes
'Madame Emile Dupraz' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame Emile Dupraz') 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 large, double, rose-pink blooms open from mid to late spring into early summer. They start cup-shaped, then open flat, and they have a good rose fragrance. Benoît Rivière bred it.
Pairs well with Smooth aster, Rock soapwort, Garlic chives, and Cinnamon fern.
