Notes
'Madame Victor Verdier' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Madame Victor Verdier') 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 blooms are deep rose, shading from crimson to pink with hints of violet. Jacques Calot bred it, and it makes a rich cut flower for a vase.
Pairs well with Columbine, Delphinium, and Switchgrass.
