Notes

'Gloria Belgarum' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Gloria Belgarum') 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 open crimson and blend with pink and light pink. Goethals bred it, and you can cut the flowers for bouquets.

Pairs well with Hardy geranium, Maidenhair tree, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
