Notes
'Georges Paul' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Georges Paul') 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. The blooms are dark red with purple shading. You can cut them to bring that deep color indoors, or leave them to brighten the border. Adrien Sénéclauze bred it.
Pairs well with Blue Angel hosta, Balloon flower, and Bottlebrush buckeye.
