Notes
'Beni-kamada' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Beni-kamada') 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. Tree peonies keep their woody stems through winter, so you can leave the framework in place. Cut the blooms for a vase indoors.
Pairs well with Wild geranium, June hosta, and Sedge.
