Notes
'Haku-raku-ten' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Haku-raku-ten') 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. Its name is often translated as A Chinese Poet. Tree peonies keep their woody stems through winter, so avoid cutting them to the ground.
Pairs well with Coralbells, Christmas fern, Greig's tulip, and Paperbark maple.
