Description
Tree Peony is a woody deciduous shrub native to China. It has exceptionally large red flowers blooming in mid spring. The flowers are 6"-12" in diameter. It is moderately slow growing, reaching 4'-6' tall in a 10 year period. Tree Peony requires well draining loam soil with a ph range of 6.5 -7. Plant in part sun to allow flowers to bloom for longer periods (up to 2 weeks). In fall, clean up leaves to prevent overwintering of botrytis.
