Notes

'Huppec' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Huppec') 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. Its woody stems make it a lasting backbone for a mixed border. You can also cut its blooms for a vase indoors. Plant it where you can enjoy its flowers up close.

Pairs well with Iris, Japanese spirea, Blue fescue, and Cinnamon fern.
