Notes
'Princess Mathilda' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Princess Mathilda') 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. The woody stems stay above ground through winter, so you only need to trim out dead wood. Cut the blooms for bouquets.
Pairs well with Sedge, Stargazer lily, and Irish moss.
