Properties:
Descendants of Paeonia suffruticosa, a native of the mountains of Bhutan, Tibet, and Northern China, these deciduous woody shrubs are almost as cold hardy as their herbaceous cousins and out perform them in areas with little winter chill (Sunset Climate Zones 14-21). Often referred to as "Tree Peonies", that appelation is misleading in that the graceful, woody branches rarely grow more than 4' to 6' high and as wide.
Cultivated in Asia for at least 1200 years, when the first dried flower specimens were received from China they were named Paeonia arborea (tree peony) because it was erroneously assumed that flowers of such size couldn't possibly be produced on bushes. The spectacular blooms can be as much as 12" in diameter (sometimes requiring staking to hold them upright), come in single, semi-double, and fully double-flowered forms, in shades of white, pink, rose, purple and red. These are impressive plants.
