Notes

'Will Rogers' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Will Rogers') 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 full double white flowers sit on stiff stems that reach 28 to 30 inches tall. The dark green foliage stays full down to the ground. Alonzo B. Franklin bred it.

Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Switchgrass, and Grape hyacinth.
