Notes
'Gessekai' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Gessekai') 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. Its flowers are white, so they pair easily with other colors in a border. You can bring a few blooms indoors for a vase. Give it a spot where you can enjoy the flowers up close.
Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Stargazer lily, and Balloon flower.
