Notes
'Osiris Pierrette Rayle' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Osiris Pierrette Rayle') 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. The fragrant, semi-double flowers are pink with a lavender cast and reach about 6 inches across. Each stem carries an average of 3 blooms. Serge Fafard bred it, and the upright stems stand free without support.
Pairs well with Charles Joly lilac, Blue grama, and Invincibelle Ruby smooth hydrangea.
