Tree Peony – Paeonia suffruticosa Seeds | 5 Seeds | Hardy Woody Shrub with Large Spring Blooms

Native to China and the Himalayan regions, Tree Peonies produce breathtaking 6–8 inch flowers in soft pink to white tones that make stunning focal points in any landscape.

Unlike herbaceous peonies, Tree Peonies form permanent woody stems that remain above ground year-round, adding structure and elegance to borders and woodland gardens. Their finely divided green foliage stays attractive throughout the growing season, providing beauty long after flowering ends.

Long-lived and cold hardy, these shrubs can thrive for decades once established, making them a treasured addition to specimen plantings, borders, and collector gardens.
