Notes
'Hana-guruma' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Hana-guruma') 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 name 'Hana-guruma' means Flower-laden Carriage, which suits a plant grown for its blooms. Yokohama Nurseries introduced it in 1919. You can cut the flowers for a vase or let them shine in the border.
Pairs well with Susan magnolia, Sedge, and Tiger lily.
