Notes

'Da Costa' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Da Costa') 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. E. H. Krelage & Zoon bred it in 1867. Cut the blooms for bouquets and plant it where you can enjoy it up close.

Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Hicksii yew, and Greig's tulip.
