Notes

'Shishigashira' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Shishigashira') is a shrub for borders, cut flower gardens, 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. Pick the blooms for cut flower arrangements. Plant it in a border where its woody stems can stay in place year after year.

Pairs well with Lenten rose, Golden Tiara hosta, Pink Impression tulip, and Christmas fern.
