Notes
'Osiris Laurence' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Osiris Laurence') 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. Fragrant, semi-double to double blooms open lilac-pink in early summer and fade to pinkish white. Each stem carries four blooms, and plants reach about 36 inches tall. Serge Fafard bred it.
Pairs well with Nepeta, Shrub rose, and Grape hyacinth.
