Notes

'Roy W. Goddard' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Roy W. Goddard') 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 double flowers are large, flat, and a delicate lavender pink. Long, narrow petals give each bloom a distinct look. Archie M. Brand bred it.

Pairs well with Creeping phlox, Lupine, Prairie dropseed, and African Queen lily.
