Notes
'Splendidissima' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Splendidissima') 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. The flowers are carmine-pink, so this shrub adds bold color to a border or a vase. Mathieu bred this cultivar. Give it room so each plant can show off its blooms.
Pairs well with Earth Angel hosta, Obsidian coral bells, and Stargazer lily.
