Notes
'Roger F. Anderson' peony (Paeonia 'Roger F. Anderson') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Its fragrant, single, violet-red blooms have darker flares and attract butterflies and bees. The neat, mounding plant grows about 31 inches tall.
Pairs well with Praying Hands hosta, Nodding onion, Blue grama, and Quick Fire panicle hydrangea.
