Notes
'Everett Roberts' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Everett 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 double flowers open light red in midseason, and golden stamens show through the narrow petals. Droopy stems form a dense bush. William Henry Krekler bred it.
Pairs well with Cinnamon fern, Pink Impression tulip, and Kentucky bluegrass.
