Notes
'Hiryo-nishiki' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Hiryo-nishiki') 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. Tree peonies form woody stems, so you can leave them standing through winter instead of cutting them to the ground.
Pairs well with Foam flower, Wild ginger, Queen of Night tulip, and Mountain laurel.
