Notes
'Fuji-zome-nishiki' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Fuji-zome-nishiki') 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. A woody shrub like this keeps its stems through winter, so you can leave them standing. Pair it with plants that have fine leaves to show off its large blooms.
Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, Green Spice coral bells, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
