There’s something quietly breathtaking about the moment Madame Calot opens — those densely petaled, blush-pink blooms unfurling with a soft, powdery fragrance that defines late spring in Pacific Northwest gardens. This heritage herbaceous peony is the kind of plant you’ll still be enjoying decades from now, her clumps growing fuller and flowering more generously with each passing year.
Plant her in full to part sun in fertile, well-drained soil, and take care not to bury the eyes more than an inch or two below the surface — depth is everything with peonies. She reaches 24–36 inches tall and wide, making her a natural anchor for mixed borders or a reliable cut-flower source. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. Cut stems back after the first hard frost each fall.
If you’re searching for long-lived herbaceous peonies, classic pink cut-flower peonies, or heirloom garden peonies for cold climates, Madame Calot belongs on your list.
Available for Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 shipping — same price, your choice of timing.
🍂 Shipping & planting window
Peonies ship in fall (September–November) when fully dormant and bare root.
Fall planting gives roots a full season to establish in warm soil before winter. Cold stratification triggers strong, healthy spring growth and reliable bloom production. Spring-shipped peonies experience root damage during active growth, transplant shock during their bloom cycle, and often lose an entire growing season.
