Notes
'Mrs. J.W. Simcox' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Mrs. J.W. Simcox') 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. Its woody stems stay above ground through winter, so you can leave them in place and let the shrub grow larger each year.
Pairs well with Lenten rose, Greig's tulip, Christmas fern, and Balloon flower.
