Tree
Peony
Paeonia suffruticosa
Description:
Tree peonies differ from garden peonies in that they have woody stems like a
shrub. The branches do not die back to the ground in winter as do the
herbaceous varieties. Exotic, uniquely colored, and often fragrant blooms
are produced in late spring, about two or three weeks before the garden
varieties. |

| Care: |
When planting a Tree Peony, be sure to bury the graft union (appearing as a
bulge on the main stem) 1.5 inches below the soil surface to protect it from
freezing/thawing cycles. This will help to maintain a healthy, reliably
blooming plant. In northern regions, the graft should be planted even
deeper. An annual topping of compost is recommended each Fall. Though
peonies may be slow to establish, you can be assured that they are
developing a deep, substantial root system which will help to produce
flowers that are well worth the wait. Once established, Peonies can live 50
years or more.
