Notes
'Monsieur Massé' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Monsieur Massé') 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. The blooms are rose-red to salmon-pink with darker shading and white edges. Modeste Guérin bred it. The plant stays short, so it fits well near the front of a bed.
Pairs well with Rainbow's End hosta, Blue fescue, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Polish Spirit clematis.
