Notes
'Madame Claude Tain' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame Claude Tain') 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. Its blush flowers have a full rose form and look rosy white. The stems hold the blooms well, and flowers open from late spring to early summer. Edouard Doriat bred it.
Pairs well with Aromatic aster, Spanish bluebell, and Sensitive fern.
