Notes
'Monsieur Charles Joly' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Monsieur Charles Joly') 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. Its flowers are double, so each bloom is full of petals. You can cut the blooms to bring them indoors. Auguste Dessert bred it in 1899.
Pairs well with Wild geranium, Standing Ovation little bluestem, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and White spruce.
