Notes
'Iwato-kagami' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Iwato-kagami') 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 rose-red. A Japanese breeder developed it, but the name of the breeder is lost.
Pairs well with Wild geranium, Greig's tulip, and Sedge.
