Notes
'Ninon' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Ninon') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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 strong, upright stems stand quite tall and carry large double flowers in light pink with a reddish tinge. They open in mid to late spring and early summer. Edouard Doriat bred it.
Pairs well with Aromatic aster, Garlic chives, and Kentucky bluegrass.
