Notes
'Joanna Gilbert' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Joanna Gilbert') 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. The large, full double flowers are pale pink and measure 10 in across. They have no stamens and bloom in profusion in late spring. The stems are rigid, so the blooms stand up well.
Pairs well with Toad lily, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Cinnamon fern.
