Notes

'Satellite' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Satellite') 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. Its flowers are single, which means each bloom has one ring of petals. Plant it near a path or seating area so you can enjoy the blooms up close. Edward Auten, Jr. bred it.

Pairs well with Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, Stargazer lily, and Norway spruce.
