Notes
Yachyo-jishi tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa 'Yachyo-jishi (or Gachigo-Shishi)') 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. Cut stems can bring the blooms indoors. Give it a spot where the woody shape can stand out in the border.
Pairs well with Pink Impression tulip, Ostrich fern, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
