Notes
'Roberta Erickson' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Roberta Erickson') 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. Its ivory-white double flowers are flat, with 6 to 8 inch blooms and some yellow stamens showing. The blooms open easily on strong stems and have a slight fragrance. Robert William Tischler bred it.
