Notes

'Hippolyte' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Hippolyte') 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. Give it a spot where the woody stems can stay in place year after year. Cut blooms bring the flowers indoors.

Pairs well with Niobe clematis, Mountain laurel, and Garlic chives.
