Notes
'The Captain’s Concubine' tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'The Captain’s Concubine') is a shrub for borders 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 blooms are a delicate, soft, airy medium pink. It grows up to about 59 inches tall, so give it room at the back of a border.
Pairs well with Korean spice viburnum, Stella de Oro daylily, Rainforest Sunrise hosta, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
