Notes
'Etoile des Neiges' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Etoile des Neiges') 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. White semi-double flowers open in late spring on strong stems. Light pink flares fade to white, and the foliage is green and purple. Michel Rivière bred it in 1998.
Pairs well with Cat mint, Switchgrass, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Anglojap yew.
