Notes
'Robert Lee Davis' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Robert Lee Davis') 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 are a soft light pink and open in mid to late spring. Each loose, rather flat bloom looks pretty in a vase. Judge Laurence A. Vories bred it.
Pairs well with Orange daylily, Royal fern, Pink Impression tulip, and Blue sage.
