Notes
'Madame Henri Core' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame Henri Core') 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 double flowers are pink with silvery shading, which gives the blooms a soft look in a vase or a bed. Edouard Doriat bred it.
Pairs well with Dalmatian bellflower, Ostrich fern, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
