Carlii tree peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Carlii' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Carlii') 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. Tree peonies grow woody stems that stay above ground through winter, so avoid cutting them back hard in spring. Plant it where the flowers can be cut for indoor bouquets.

Pairs well with Japanese spirea, Lily, Ostrich fern, and Black Parrot tulip.
