Notes
'Madame Saint-Augustin' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Madame Saint-Augustin') is a shrub for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. 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. Tree peonies grow woody stems that stay above ground through winter, so skip the hard cutback you give a garden peony.
Pairs well with New England aster, Greig's tulip, and Sedge.
