Notes

'Setsugekko' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Setsugekko') 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 is a woody plant, so you can leave the stems in place through winter rather than cutting them to the ground.

Pairs well with Little Lime panicle hydrangea, Stargazer lily, Sweet woodruff, and Blue grama.
