Notes
'Madame Pierre Dessert' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Madame Pierre Dessert') 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. Its flowers are pink, so they add soft color to a border. You can also cut the blooms for a vase. Auguste Dessert bred it.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Prairie dropseed, and Cardinal flower.
