Notes
'Victor Lemoine' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Victor Lemoine') 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. It grows about 47 to 59 inches tall and bears double crimson flowers. Michel Rivière bred it, and the blooms last well in a vase.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Cheerfulness daffodil.
