Notes
'Capitaine Champione' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Capitaine Champione') 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. Paillet bred it in 1889. Give it a spot in a mixed border where its woody stems can stay in place year after year.
Pairs well with Paperbark maple, Ostrich fern, Black Parrot tulip, and Inkberry.
