Notes
'Mathilde Méchin' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mathilde Méchin') 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. It bears double pink flowers that make a soft, full display in the garden. Give it a spot where the blooms can be cut for bouquets. Etienne Méchin bred it.
Pairs well with Blonde Ambition blue grama, Ice plant, and Carlton daffodil.
