Notes
'Monsieur Paillet' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Monsieur Paillet') 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 pink blooms make a soft color accent in a sunny border. They also work well in a vase indoors. Modeste Guérin bred it.
Pairs well with Patriot hosta, Quick Fire panicle hydrangea, and Ostrich fern.
