Notes
'Mo Jiangnan' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Mo Jiangnan') is a shrub for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Early blooming single flowers are dark red and face upward, with pink lines on the back of the petals. New foliage emerges deep red and matures to green with reddish-brown edges.
Pairs well with Toad lily, Queen of Night tulip, and Red twig dogwood.
