Notes
'Michelet' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Michelet') 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. It bears double white flowers in early summer. Cut the blooms for bouquets. Plant it in a border where the white flowers can stand out against green leaves. François-Félix Crousse bred it.
Pairs well with Sedge, Tickseed, and Smooth hydrangea.
