Notes
'Aka-daikagura' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Aka-daikagura') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The flowers are single, so each bloom shows its center of petals and stamens. Cut stems indoors to enjoy the blooms in a vase.
Pairs well with Lenten rose, Mountain laurel, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Pink Impression tulip.
