Notes
'Haru-no-akatsuki' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Haru-no-akatsuki') 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 cerise pink, so they add bold color to a border or a vase. The name means Dawn in Spring, and Wada introduced it in 1939.
Pairs well with Lady's mantle, Sedge, and Witch hazel.
