Notes
'Shin-abokiu' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Shin-abokiu') 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 bears red blooms that make a bold show in the garden. You can cut the red flowers and bring them indoors for bouquets. Plant it in a border where its color can stand out beside green foliage.
Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Pink Impression tulip, and Christmas fern.
