Notes
'Osiris Yvette Lapointe' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Osiris Yvette Lapointe') 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. Serge Fafard bred it. The red semi-double to double blooms reach about 7 inches across, with twisted center petals. Each stem usually carries one flower, and the upright plants stand without support.
Pairs well with Stargazer lily, Indian grass, and Virginia rose.
