Notes
'Carnescens plenissima' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Carnescens plenissima') 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. You can cut the blooms for indoor arrangements. Because it is a shrub, its woody stems stay in the bed through winter.
Pairs well with Astilbe, Greig's tulip, and Christmas fern.
