Notes
'Beni-kirin' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Beni-kirin') 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. Kirin is an imaginary animal. The name comes from that mythical creature, so the plant has a bit of legend behind it.
Pairs well with June hosta, Hicksii yew, and Wild geranium.
