Notes
'Comtesse de Crawford' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Comtesse de Crawford') 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. The double flowers open in a rich carmine-red, which makes them a bold focal point in the garden. They also look lovely in a vase indoors. Adrien Sénéclauze bred it.
Pairs well with Fire Island hosta, Ostrich fern, Pink Impression tulip, and Clematis.
