Notes

'Gyokuka' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Gyokuka') 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. As a shrub, it stays in the garden through winter and adds lasting structure to a border. You can cut a few blooms for a vase and enjoy them indoors.

Pairs well with Columbine, Pink Impression tulip, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
