Notes
'Shokkō-nishiki' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Shokkō-nishiki') 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 stems make a fine show indoors, so you can bring a few flowers inside.
Pairs well with Lenten rose, Golden Tiara hosta, Ostrich fern, and Grape hyacinth.
