Notes

'Marianna' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Marianna') 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. It bears double pink flowers with darker flares. It grows about 47 to 55 inches tall, so give it room at the back of a bed.

Pairs well with Queen of Night tulip, Blue fescue, and Balloon flower.
