Notes
'Gloire de Shanghai' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Gloire de Shanghai') 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. It bears white flowers, and you can cut them for a vase. John Standish introduced it in 1855. Plant it where you can enjoy the blooms up close.
Pairs well with Hardy geranium, Maidenhair tree, Cinnamon fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
