Notes
'Anne Bigger' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Anne Bigger') 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. Myron D. Bigger bred it in 1945. The large double flowers are medium pink and bloom in early to mid summer. The stems hold the heavy blooms well, and it blooms consistently every year.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, New England aster, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Sensitive fern.
