Notes
'Roger’s Showstopper' peony (Paeonia 'Roger’s Showstopper') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. 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. Fragrant, double, blush pink flowers face upward and bring in butterflies and bees. The upright plants reach about 30 inches and need no support. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Roger F. Anderson bred it.
Pairs well with First Frost hosta, Little bluestem, and Stargazer lily.
