'Asahi-no-hikare' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Asahi-no-hikare') 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. A Japanese breeder developed it, and the name means Light of the Morning Sun. Cut the blooms to bring them indoors.
