Notes

'Fontenelli' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Fontenelli') 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. Cut the blooms for vases, or let them show off in the garden. Plant it where you can enjoy the large flowers up close, and let the woody stems stand through winter so the shrub keeps its shape.

Pairs well with Moonshine yarrow, Stargazer lily, and Buffalo grass.
