Notes
'Osiris Mariette Pelland' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Osiris Mariette Pelland') 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 double flowers open in late spring to early summer, and the buds are pale green. Several rows of green petals open before the pink ones show. The upright plant grows to about 34 inches and needs no support.
Pairs well with Nepeta, Pincushion flower, Shrub rose, and Cinnamon fern.
