Notes
'Sidonie' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sidonie') 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 double blooms are lilac with shaded salmon tones. They are fragrant, so you can bring them indoors. Auguste Joseph Miellez bred it.
Pairs well with Pink Impression tulip, Royal fern, and Spanish bluebell.
