Additional Information
The Tree Peony is a long-lived, very showy, deciduous shrub that produces numerous large, beautiful flowers beginning in mid to late spring. 'Hanna-kisoi', frequently sold under the name Floral Rivalry, has large, pink, semi-double blossoms. These plants do best in a deep, fertile, and well-drained soil, with some protection from strong winds. In colder climates, some winter protection is beneficial to prevent desiccation. The only pruning necessary is to remove dead wood and suckers in early spring, or a light pruning in the fall if the plant becomes leggy. Once planted, it is advisable not to move or disturb this species.
