Banksi tree peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Banksi' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Banksi') is a shrub for borders 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. The flowers are double, so cut a few stems to enjoy indoors. Plant it in a border where the blooms can stand out.

Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Wild bergamot, and Christmas fern.
