Notes

'Titian' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Titian') is a perennial for borders, cut flower gardens, 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 Japanese type flowers are large and bloom in mid season. The plant is medium size and compact, so it fits easily at the front or middle of a bed.

Pairs well with Aromatic aster, Switchgrass, Matrona october daphne, and Stargazer lily.
