Notes
'Amarante' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Amarante') is a shrub for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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. Its pink blooms add soft color to the garden and look nice in a vase. Give it a spot where the woody stems can stay in place from year to year. Victor Lemoine bred it.
Pairs well with Sweet woodruff, Greig's tulip, and Sedge.
