Notes
'Monsieur Chevreul' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Monsieur Chevreul') 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. Its pink flowers are double, which means they have many petals. You can cut the blooms for bouquets and enjoy them indoors. Auguste Dessert bred it.
Pairs well with Incrediball hydrangea, Blonde Ambition blue grama, Wild geranium, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
