Notes
'Grand Frederick' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Grand Frederick') 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. Paillet introduced it in 1889. The woody stems stay through winter, so you only need to trim out dead wood in spring.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Incrediball hydrangea, and Cinnamon fern.
