Notes
'Allan Rogers' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Allan Rogers') 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 fragrant double flowers open soft pink and quickly fade to white. Sturdy stems about 28 inches tall hold the five inch blooms up well. William J. Seidl bred it.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, False Solomon's seal, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
