Notes

'Cassandra' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Cassandra') 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. It bears pink blooms that look good in the garden and in a vase. You can cut the flowers for indoor arrangements and enjoy them close up. Plant it in a border where the pink color can stand out among greener neighbors.

Pairs well with Astilbe, Smooth hydrangea, Prairie dropseed, and Greig's tulip.
