Description

Tree Peony is a woody deciduous shrub native to China. It has exceptionally large flowers bloom in mid spring. The flowersa are 6" to 12" in diameter. It is moderately slow growing that reaches 4-6' in height in a ten year period. Tree Peony requires well-drained loam soil with a ph range of 6.5-7. Plant in part sun to allow flowers to bloom for longer periods (up to 2 weeks). In fall clean up leaves to prevent overwintering of botrytis.

Water Saving Tip:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
