Notes

'Niesa' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Niesa') 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. Walter J. Guille bred this peony. Plant it in a border where you can reach the blooms. You can cut the flowers for bouquets and enjoy them indoors.

Pairs well with Royal Standard hosta, Sedge, and Grape hyacinth.
