Notes
'Pranciškaus Vėlyvasis' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Pranciškaus Vėlyvasis') 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 late double flowers open deep purplish-pink and face upward. The blooms are fragrant and reach about 5.5 inches across. Plants grow about 47 inches tall and spread, so give them mechanical support.
Pairs well with Swamp milkweed, Smooth hydrangea, and Garlic chives.
