Notes
'Koka-mon' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Koka-mon') 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 name means Gate of Koka, so it makes a fitting plant near a garden entrance. Chugai bred it in 1932, and it still earns a place in the garden today.
Pairs well with Chokeberry, Indian grass, and Bloodroot.
