Notes
'Jeanne Gaudichau' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Jeanne Gaudichau') is a perennial for borders, cut flower use, 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 large double blooms open pale pink and fade to white with crimson edges in the center. They come late in the season on stiff stems. Millet & Son bred it.
Pairs well with Tickseed, Garlic chives, Queen of Night tulip, and Kentucky bluegrass.
