This peony likes dappled shade in cooler climes. It can tolerate transplanting and can grow to ten feet tall over a twenty year period.

This is a lovely tree peony from China. It was once considered a subspecies of P. suffruticosa, but is now given its own species status. The flowers are quite large and semi-double. They are white with a large maroon blotch at the base of the petals. It can reach to 6 feet.
