Notes
'Alice Roberts' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Alice Roberts') 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 huge flowers are silvery pink with a Japanese form and light golden centers. They open pale lavender-pink and fade to near-white. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Wild ginger, Sedge, and Little Beauty tulip.
