Notes
'Grandiflora spectabilis' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Grandiflora spectabilis') 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. Adrien Sénéclauze bred it in 1846. You can cut the blooms and bring them indoors for a vase. Give it a spot in the garden where you can enjoy it up close.
Pairs well with Bottlebrush buckeye, Minuteman hosta, and Columbine.
