Description

Paeonia suffruticosa is a perennial and deciduous shrub. It is slow growting, eventually 3'-5' tall, with handsome divided leaves and very large single to double flowers in early spring. It takes several years to reveal their true potential, but the results are spectacular.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply as little fertilizer as possible.

If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
