Notes

'Papaveracea' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Papaveracea') 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. The flowers are white with purple flares at the center. Louis Noisette introduced it in 1814.

Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Lenten rose, Blue grama, and Stargazer lily.
