Notes
'Guillaume Tell' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Guillaume Tell') is a shrub for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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 carmine-pink, so they add bold color to a mixed planting. Cut a few stems for a vase when the flowers open.
Pairs well with Weigela, Christmas fern, Grape hyacinth, and Prairie dropseed.
