Notes
'Madame Jules Calot' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame Jules Calot') 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. Large double flowers open light pink with white edges and rose-pink flecks in mid to late spring. The short plants have strong stems and good foliage. Jacques Calot bred it.
