Notes
'Caihezhiyi' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Caihezhiyi') is a shrub for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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. Large red-purple semi-double flowers open in late spring and have a light fragrance. The upright stems reach about 70 inches and need no support.
