Notes
'Omega Centauri' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Omega Centauri') 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. Nate Bremer bred it. The double lavender flowers are fragrant and grow 5½ inches wide. Sturdy stems hold the heavy blooms upright without support.
Pairs well with American Gold Rush black-eyed Susan, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Quick Fire panicle hydrangea.
