Notes

'Maman Millet' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Maman Millet') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 semi-double pink flowers have soft pink outer petals, a white center tinted pink, and many yellow stamens. The stems bend a little, so you may want to give them support. Millet & Son bred it.

Pairs well with Blue Angel hosta, Woodland phlox, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
