Notes
'Shichi-no-tategami' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Shichi-no-tategami') is a shrub for borders, perennial beds, 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. Cut the blooms to bring them indoors. Plant it in a border where its woody form adds structure among softer perennials.
Pairs well with Autumn Frost hosta, Korean spice viburnum, Cinnamon fern, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
