Notes
'Madame Hutin' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame Hutin') 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 flowers are rose-pink with darker mottling, so they add rich color to a bouquet or a border. François-Félix Crousse bred this peony, and you can enjoy its blooms in the garden or in a vase.
Pairs well with Gooseneck loosestrife, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Christmas fern.
