Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Madame de Verneville’ rises tall and structured, crowned with lush white double blooms softly flecked with pink at their core — as if brushed by a passing hand. The flowers are broad and densely built, yet they sit light on the stem, catching afternoon sun in a way that creates a ripple of brightness across the row. With very high productivity and well-formed side buds, this variety offers depth, rhythm, and reliable volume through the middle of the season. It is as visually theatrical as it is professionally consistent.

Origin MADAME DE VERNEVILLE Peony

First introduced in 1885, ‘Madame de Verneville’ hails from the early golden age of French peony breeding. It was developed for elegance and floral drama — and it has retained both. The subtle raspberry-pink streaks in its core are a signature trait, highly recognisable and often favoured by traditional floral designers. Its tall structure, vigour, and steady flowering make it more than a relic: this variety continues to meet modern cultivation standards with ease.

LACTIFLORA

Lactiflora peonies are known for their structured growth and reliable perennial cycles. ‘Madame de Verneville’ builds on this foundation with a taller-than-average posture and a pronounced bloom form. Its multiple buds and strong flowering response provide both ornamental beauty and high output. Whether used for heritage-driven landscaping or scaled mid-season production, this peony holds its own with confidence and clarity.
