Kara-ori tree peony

Garden uses

Notes

'Kara-ori' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Kara-ori') 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 source lists the names Chinese Fabrics and Chinese Weave for this peony. Its woody stems stay above ground through winter, so skip the hard cutback you give herbaceous peonies.

Pairs well with Lenten rose, Greig's tulip, and Sedge.
