Notes
'Mademoiselle Jeanne Rivière' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mademoiselle Jeanne Rivière') 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 blooms open in mid to late spring and are mildly fragrant. Pale pink petals shade through cream to lemon-yellow in the center. Strong, erect stems hold the tall flowers well.
Pairs well with Bobo hydrangea, Queen of Night tulip, and Garlic chives.
