Notes
'President de Montzey' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'President de Montzey') is a perennial for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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. Jacques Calot bred it. You can cut the stems and bring them indoors for bouquets. Plant it near the front or middle of a border so the blooms are easy to reach.
Pairs well with Carnaval De Nice tulip, Cinnamon fern, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
