Notes
'Mademoiselle Sophie' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Mademoiselle Sophie') 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. Miron bred it, and it has long been grown in gardens. The woody stems stay through winter, so you only need to trim out dead wood in spring.
Pairs well with Siberian iris, Inkberry, and Switchgrass.
