Notes
'Rossini' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Rossini') 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 rose blooms are fragrant, and the dark foliage adds contrast in the garden. Luigi Casoretti bred it.
Pairs well with Ice plant, Nodding onion, Smooth hydrangea, and Ostrich fern.
