Notes
'Kagura-nishiki' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Kagura-nishiki') 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 large blooms are rose-red and make a bold show in the garden. Cut a few stems to bring that color indoors. Plant it where you can enjoy it up close each season.
Pairs well with Praying Hands hosta, Magnus coneflower, and Paperbark maple.
