Notes
'Elizabeth Blair Hirsch' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Elizabeth Blair Hirsch') 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. Dark red flowers open in early to late spring. The long, glossy petals lie flat like an outstretched hand. Max Moore Reeher collected the seed that produced it.
Pairs well with Cat mint, Anglojap yew, and Blue grama.
