Notes
'Reine des Fleurs' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Reine des Fleurs') 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 pink blooms open in early summer, so the flowers fit well in a bouquet. André Donkelaar bred it, and it adds pink color to a sunny border.
Pairs well with Queen of Night tulip, Kentucky bluegrass, and Black chokeberry.
