Notes

'Belle Hortense' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Belle Hortense') is a shrub for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Its woody stems stay above ground through winter, so you can leave them in place.

Pairs well with Wild geranium, Sedge, and Blue Star common juniper.
