Notes
'Gorgeous Lady' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Gorgeous Lady') 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. Large, fragrant, semi-double pink flowers reach about eight inches across, with one bloom per stem.
