Notes

'Ke Yu Tan Chun' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Ke Yu Tan Chun') 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. Light pink fades toward the petal edges of its semi-double pink flowers, which open early in spring and carry a light fragrance. The upright stems reach about 47 inches and need no support.

Pairs well with Blue star, Greig's tulip, and Sedge.
