Notes

'Blackbird’s Song' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa Blackbirds Song) 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. Its woody stems stay above ground through winter, so the shrub grows larger each year.

Pairs well with Fire Island hosta, Star magnolia, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Pink Impression tulip.
