Notes
'Bugaku-den' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Bugaku-den') 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. Sakata & Co. introduced it in 1931. Its woody stems stay through winter, so you can plan a lasting place in the bed.
Pairs well with May Night salvia, Blue Mouse Ears hosta, and Cinnamon fern.
