Notes

'Archduke Louis' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Archduke Louis') 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. Kelway bred it, so it comes from a long line of garden peonies. Cut the blooms for a vase and enjoy them indoors.

Pairs well with Elegans hosta, Paris coral bells, and Cinnamon fern.
