Notes
'Prince of Midnight' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Prince of Midnight') 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. It bears single purple wine flowers with a circle of gold stamens in late spring. The large leaves are medium green with bronze tints. John and Dot McFarlane introduced it.
