Notes
'Madame Marie-Thérèse Hermand' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Madame Marie-Thérèse Hermand') 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 semi-double flowers with purple highlights and dark red flares open in late spring to early summer. The dark green leaves sit on strong stems. Michel Rivière bred it.
Pairs well with Damask rose, Stargazer lily, and Switchgrass.
