Notes
'Madame de Vernéville' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame de Vernéville') 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 double white flowers open in early to mid spring and have a sweet, rose-like fragrance. Crimson marks often show on the center petals. It makes a good cut flower and does best in cooler climates.
Pairs well with Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, Spanish bluebell, and Royal fern.
