Notes

'Shira-giku' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Shira-giku') 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. The name means white chrysanthemum, which hints at the look of its blooms. Cut the flowers for a vase and enjoy them indoors.

Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Ostrich fern, Pink Impression tulip, and Polish Spirit clematis.
