Notes
'Maria Theresa' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Maria Theresa') is a shrub for borders 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. Cut stems make a lovely indoor bouquet. Give it room in the border so the woody stems can spread and the blooms show well.
Pairs well with Fringed bleeding heart, Japanese spirea, Queen of Night tulip, and Garlic chives.
