Notes

'Godaishu' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Godaishu') 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 large and globe-like. You can cut them to bring indoors for a vase. Plant it near a path or seating area so you can enjoy the big flowers up close.

Pairs well with Francee hosta, Switchgrass, and Stargazer lily.
