Notes
'Osiris Marilou' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Osiris Marilou') 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. Its fragrant, fuchsia-pink double blooms open in early summer on upright stems. Side buds give a longer flowering period. Serge Fafard bred it.
Pairs well with Nepeta, Pincushion flower, and Cinnamon fern.
