Notes
'Hana-kurabe' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Hana-kurabe') 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. It bears pink blooms. You can cut them for a vase or leave them to color the border. Henry & Lee introduced it in 1926.
Pairs well with Little Lime panicle hydrangea, Prairie dropseed, and Greig's tulip.
