Notes

'Mikasa-yama' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Mikasa-yama') 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. The single flowers open salmon-pink, with lighter outer petals. Pair it with plants that have fine leaves to show off the large blooms.

Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Incrediball hydrangea, Blue fescue, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
