Notes
'Bai Bian Jiao Yan' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Bai Bian Jiao Yan') 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. Fragrant, light reddish purple flowers open in early to mid spring and face upward. The new foliage emerges dark red. The stems are hardy and wind does not easily damage them.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Pink Impression tulip, and Ostrich fern.
