Notes
'Duchess of Rutland' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Duchess of Rutland') 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. Its flowers are pink. Kelway bred it, so it comes from a long line of showy peonies.
Pairs well with Solomon's seal, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Pink Impression tulip, and Polish Spirit clematis.
