Notes
'Roy Robinson' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Roy Robinson') 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 open in mid to late spring in a color between red and pink. Good stems make it useful for cutting. George E. Winchell bred it.
Pairs well with New England aster, Switchgrass, and Mexican hat.
