Dorys tree peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Dorys' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Dorys') 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. Its woody stems stay above ground through winter, so you can leave them in place and trim only dead wood. Cut the blooms for indoor arrangements.

Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Columbine, and Blue grama.
