Notes
'Petagra' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Petagra') 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 large double flowers have crown petals in the center, surrounded by golden anthers. The blooms are fragrant, and the plant is a strong grower. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it.
Pairs well with Annabelle hydrangea, American Gold Rush black-eyed Susan, and Garlic chives.
