Notes
'Victorian Vintage' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Victorian Vintage') 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 fragrant bomb-shaped blooms have magenta tops and guard petals with pink centers. Strong stems hold them up in midseason. Roy G. Klehm bred it.
Pairs well with Bellwort, False Solomon's seal, Blue sage, and Spanish bluebell.
