Paeonia Madame de Verneville Peony offers a timeless expression of elegance with its double white blooms delicately flecked with crimson. Blooming in late spring to early summer, this heritage variety reaches 36 inches in height and width, forming an upright mound of dark green foliage that highlights each flower's old-world charm. With a classic rose-type structure and exceptional fragrance, its pure white petals occasionally display vintage crimson speckles, adding dimension and character to every bloom.
Well suited to cutting gardens, perennial borders, and refined specimen plantings, Madame de Verneville provides a soft, luminous quality that complements both traditional and cottage-style landscapes. Pair this peony with perennials like Iris, Baptisia, or Allium to create dynamic spring textures and color contrasts. Its white flowers enhance cooler palettes and lend visual relief to colorful garden combinations.
Thriving in full sun to part shade, Paeonia Madame de Verneville Peony prefers well-drained, rich loam and adapts well to medium water conditions. Notable for its disease resistance and tolerance to deer and rabbits, this variety demands little once established. Originating in 1885, its longevity and fragrance have secured its place among cherished heirloom cultivars. It remains a trusted choice for gardeners seeking long-lasting beauty and authentic historical charm.
