Notes
'Orlando Roberts' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Orlando 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 glossy double blooms are black-red and open late in spring. The plant stands above medium height, so it works well in the middle of a bed.
Pairs well with White trillium, Cinnamon fern, and Miss Kim lilac.
