Notes

'Muhlenbecki' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Muhlenbecki') 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. It is a woody peony, so the stems stay above ground through winter. You can cut the blooms for bouquets.

Pairs well with Blue Mouse Ears hosta, Prairie dropseed, and Grape hyacinth.
