Notes
'Banryo-nishiki' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Banryo-nishiki') 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. You can cut the blooms for bouquets. Give it a permanent spot, since its woody stems stay in place year after year.
Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Great blue lobelia, Christmas fern, and Grape hyacinth.
