Notes

'Senrigu-botan' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Senrigu-botan') is a shrub for borders 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. Its woody stems stay above ground through winter, so you can leave them in place and prune only to shape the plant.

Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Hicksii yew, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
