Notes

'Madame Maria Seguenot' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Madame Maria Seguenot') 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. Dessert bred it in 1905. You can cut the stems for bouquets indoors. Plant it in a border where its woody form can stand out among softer perennials.
