Notes

'Plena' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Plena') is a shrub for borders, perennial beds, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. Baumann frères bred it, and you can pair it with plants that bloom at other times to keep the bed colorful.

Pairs well with Snowflake moss phlox, Siberian squill, and Red fescue.
