Notes
'Devonshire' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Devonshire') 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. Give it a spot where it can stay for years, since woody peonies resent being moved.
Pairs well with Halcyon hosta, Lenten rose, and Mountain laurel.
