Notes

'Giovanna' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Giovanna') 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. The blooms are deep pink and make a bold show in the garden. You can cut the flowers to bring indoors, and the woody stems return each year.

Pairs well with Mock orange, Blue fescue, and Cinnamon fern.
