Notes
'Mademoiselle Cimochowska' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mademoiselle Cimochowska') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flower gardens. 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 violet and make a rich color accent in the garden. You can also cut the blooms for indoor bouquets. Millet & Son bred it in 1921.
Pairs well with Little bluestem, Stargazer lily, and Garlic chives.
