Notes
'Madame de Govin' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame de Govin') 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 white flowers are double, so each bloom looks full and layered. White blooms stand out in a border and look fresh in a vase. François-Félix Crousse bred this cultivar.
Pairs well with Pussytoes, Arrowwood viburnum, Spanish bluebell, and Foxtail barley.
